Thanks, Gary!

Thanks, Dave. 🙂

I’m going to recommend your site and e-book it to my critique group. As an ‘aspiring’ author, this is another of those things I’ve been looking for. I think you have a good read on the way the publishing market is going.

Two months ago Randy Ingermanson’s ‘Advanced Fiction Writing’ blog had Randy’s oracular predictions of what writing would look like in five years or so. According to his vision e-publishing will become the testing ground for us wannabe authors and should become the place of making a living for mid-level authors in the years to come. It appears that you are on the cusp of the wave.

The opportunity is there as long as I have the donate button up on the Guide posts. Dunno how long that will be, but that’s a long way of saying, yes, the opportunity still exists. 🙂 Thanks.

I am so glad you’re going to keep doing business posts. Very, very few professional fiction writers spend much time at all on their web site(s) talking about business: the good, the bad, the ugly. Part of what made the Guide such a weekly habit for me was the fact that it was rooted in pragmatic, non-artsy business talk. Ergo, it was “nutritious” whereas so much writer-blogging these days is “empty calorie” opinion poofery or thinly-veiled, high-fructose, “Look at me!” self-aggrandizement.

Thanks to you and Dean, I’ve been able to conceptualize what I believe is a solid 5-year plan for myself. I’ve also come to view almost all aspects of my financial life — home finance & multi-career finance — through a business-colored lens. It’s helped my wife and I do some things and make some changes that are already proving hugely beneficial.

Kudos!

You’re welcome, Carolyn.

Thanks,

Carolyn
