And I'm always looking ahead too, like Lantana. Let me know about that Super and the self-pub.

I really needed that boost. <br /><br />I self-pubbed for the first time, and the short's been on and off the top-100 list for bestselling anthologies on Amazon. Seeing my name up there with big names like Debbie Macomber and Lora Leigh tells me I'm doing something right. <br /><br />So far self-publishing seems a great way to go, especially for those stories that won't fit into any one niche well.Lisa Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993498875059318892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-62949558886463916952011-09-20T20:16:45.178-04:002011-09-20T20:16:45.178-04:00I'm taking a one week hiatus from writing and ...I'm taking a one week hiatus from writing and guess what?

Like Lanata, my head is up and I'm looking down the trail. And guess what? I'm grinning. <br /><br />I'm watching my friends get requests for fulls, signing with agents, and pubbing their books. Maybe it's the changing climate of publishing that has everyone's flow on the go. Not sure what's got me so amped up, but I do know I want to see what's around the next bend.Sheri Fredrickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03994182452859135844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-22412354488389009222011-09-20T15:05:24.708-04:002011-09-20T15:05:24.708-04:00I'm so glad to hear this!!I can feel your exci...I'm so glad to hear this!!I can feel your excitement.

It is opening me up to an awarness of nouns and verbs that I was missing before and will make my writing that much stronger. SO excited! Each step we take as writes comes with a heady mixture of fear and anticipation. All I can say is CHARGE!!!! ;) Brenda L.Renee Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532559122551680581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-48030845846021833462011-09-20T11:35:50.095-04:002011-09-20T11:35:50.095-04:00Thanks, Paty!

Most of this is because things are happening. For years I've felt like I've been stuck in place, trading water. <br /><br />But now I've taken control of my career and I'm shaping it, pointing it in the direction I want to go and coaxing it along. <br /><br />The most exciting thing is that I can see my hard work already having an effect. With every review by someone I don't know, I know someone has read my book. With every sale posted, I know someone has found my book.<br /><br />It's easy to promote through guest blogs and reader interaction when you can see the effect of the promotion within a day.<br /><br />So right now I feel incredibly excited and energized. I can't wait to see what's around that corner.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03232378093017812896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-19325727278153257262011-09-20T08:40:29.387-04:002011-09-20T08:40:29.387-04:00The unknown excites me - all of it!

There is a spot for everyone, and everyone can enjoy to be in several spots, not just one. I have one book coming out from an epub, I'm still looking for an agent and want to get pubbed in the traditional world and, like you, I'm hoping to try self pub within the next six months or so. It's all exciting stuff!!!Christine Warnerhttp://christine-warner.comnoreply@blogger.com
