and I have written several books. Writing is the easy part—getting published is the hard part!<<<

Forgot to say that I am not surprised that you have them already written....

It is in our genes.

Can you self publish? What about selling them on CD’s?

I am super tired and not thinking clearly right now, I think the word that I want is manuscript, but the one I am talking about was printed on better paper and was being sold for a figure like $50.00.

I thought as i listened, what a neat way to make money, the guest on the talk show, said he had 50 manuscripts to sell, and he did in a few minutes and I always wanted to know how many times he sold them with numbers of 1 to 50.

The callers were wild to buy a “manuscript”.

I like the way the Soap Makers were publishing their books, in loose leaf notebooks, so they could send or sell you more information as it was written.

They were selling for $39.00, one of the writers, I would have paid that for her book, as I know what Rita’s writing is and it is worth it.

There are many, who swear by self publishing.

So do not give up, you will make it.

I haven’t given up. Even if I never get published, I get a lot of satisfaction from writing. I’ve created worlds, peopled them, lived and laughed and loved with my characters. And my sisters get a lot of free reading material! LOL I have more books than the library, because everything interests me! The internet is the coolest invention—it’s like having a library at your fingertips 24/7.

I know what you mean about tired—the greenhouse about whipped me today, and I have to go in early in the am to do paperwork. At least Sat is sposed to be cool and rainy. I’ll play catchup then!

It’s not even 9:00 and I’m struggling to keep my eyes open. I’m headed for beddy bye right here shortly! Sleep tight!
