I did my part and she submitted it at 8 am Monday morning. At 11 am, she got a response accepting the book and asking for three more (it was the first of a series) Now she has a deadline and is deserately trying to figure out what to write next. Kind of one of those you get what you wish for oopses.<BR/><BR/>Another writer I knew got an ultumatum from her husband, publish by January or get a job. (she had quit to write) in November she got a letter accepting her book. While reading the letter and making sandwiches for the kid's lunch, her husband got a phone call from a company requesting the movie rights for $500,000. After recovering from the shock, he took her butter knife and told her he would finish making the sandwiches and she could write.<BR/><BR/>Not that anyone has broken down my door in the effort to buy my book rights. However, being the proud owner of two sort of published books, with one selling over 100 copies now, I'm at least off the ground.<BR/><BR/>Moral of the blog. Don't give up. These people did it. Even I did something. So you can.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12489139590094350902noreply@blogger.com
