Thanks for commenting!

I’ve been thinking of a monthly challenge, and trying to come up with one that includes stories and (at least) chapters from novels. I’m sure there’s a good idea out there somewhere. I just need to hunt it down. I’m letting other stuff distract me more than I’d like lately (post to follow in a few minutes), but I think those issues will be resolved fairly soon.

Fortunately having fun is easy, at least when it comes to the actual writing. {8’>

Interesting thoughts, some I have had to varying degree. Don’t worry about talking money; that is the business of this, just not the passion. The experimentations, the ideas, the marketing, the tests, the decisions…. We can all learn from your experience, just like JAKonrath’s “Newbie Writers” blog. It’s a wealth of info, and it is good to experience varying POV.

I do not recall which media outlet I found you–not FB; I abhor the distracting but seemingly necessary media outlet–but I am glad I did. Your weekly challenge is intriguing. I enjoy that. If I may suggest a compromise…perhaps a “Monthly/whatever” story challenge, maybe chapters of a novel, saving the last chapter(s) for book publication.

I guess all depends on your goal, something that can change overnight or over years. As long as you have fun….

I’m sticking with you wherever I need to go to read your awesome stories at whatever time they are released and will gladly pay money for them because the enjoyment derived is worth every penny 🙂 I’ll keep having fun as long you keep having fun out there!
