Like it's not a real job?<br /><br />Time for some rooftop shouting to practice... ;)Patti Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08168127105768532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051736209645386819.post-37911915556636970992011-04-17T12:11:40.894-07:002011-04-17T12:11:40.894-07:00@Nick: Dubious strangers abound!

I don't live in the most literature-flooded neighborhood...<br /><br />@Bakari: Sadly, my sales have been in the dumps this month, so no "good money" for me, yet :) I want to keep trudging forward, eventually my audience and I shall meet!J.

Now they know I write but they don't know I have books published or that I self-publish e-books (except for my dean).<br /><br />They already make little quips that I must be rich because I don't teach during the summer (that's when I write and research). If they knew I was making 'good money' from e-books I would never hear the end of it.eBook Magichttp://www.amazon.com/eBook-Magic-books-Everywhere-ebook/dp/B004V0482Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=books&qid=1302959010&sr=8-1noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051736209645386819.post-21268866160125382082011-04-15T21:06:45.745-07:002011-04-15T21:06:45.745-07:00I like this one a lot!

...I like this one a lot! You write very well. :-)<br /><br />And I think a lot of us authors can relate to such a story. We all have one -- at least -- where we have to somehow tell a dubious stranger that we do actually view this not as a pipe dream, but as a professional endeavor.<br /><br />Some people are understanding. Most are just stupid.<br /><br /><a href="http://nicholaslasalla.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Nick</a>Nicholas La Sallahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672628766188470171noreply@blogger.com
