It's the "I'm a novelist" that I cough on. :D<br /><br />@Laura--I got several lightbulbs from it. I was amazed. You're right. There are so many questions we don't even know to ask on this journey. :o)<br /><br />@April--Bravo! (a?) That's exactly what I'm thinking, too (see up there, my comment to Kris). There are things we do to eat and then things we do to live. Yes? Thanks, girl! :o) <3LTMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239077455322030275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-32835106467525985552012-01-27T09:32:27.626-05:002012-01-27T09:32:27.626-05:00I am so backwards (sigh).

I want to write two more books (one already done), revise three books, and get an agent...oh, and also work on whatever my agent wants! Kind of a big list, but I have all year :) Good luck with your career goal, sounds like a great one!Michelle Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040685503147648297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-75287541634304773382012-01-25T17:14:24.599-05:002012-01-25T17:14:24.599-05:00I love the attitude you have about writing now.

I can't use a full time job or a grad class as an excuse to make me lose something that's part of my well being and something I'd like to get paid to do full time someday. If I don't invest now, it'll never happen.<br /><br />Thanks for the book info.

I think persistence is key and offering specials until readers discover you and then hopefully they will search you out. I bet a I can learn more from that book though. Thanks,<br />NancyN. R.

I call it "taking myself seriously" (without taking myself seriously, if you KWIM). To say "Yes, I *am* a writer" (or whatever it is we're trying to be) and not just downplay it to "I do a bit of writing on the side"; and then make choices accordingly. We can't expect others to take us seriously if we don't ourselves.AMOffenwangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429398915780302831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8702219714438420151.post-58081063282707699962012-01-24T09:33:12.098-05:002012-01-24T09:33:12.098-05:00Sounds good!

My day job, the one I hate sitting behind a computer for 8 hours a day doing the Federal budget, is what helps pays bills. Yes. BUT. WRITING is my career. It's my love, my passion, and it's what matters most.
