The nicely formatted version with pictures is here: http://meganthomason.com/?p=290

As it has been a year since I published daynight and 2013 is coming to a close, I have been thinking a lot about what constitutes “success” in the publishing industry, whether I have achieved it, and if it matters.

Megan’s Quotes

“Actual happiness always looks pretty squalid in comparison with the overcompensations for misery. And, of course, stability isn't nearly so spectacular as instability. And being contented has none of the glamour of a good fight against misfortune, none of the picturesqueness of a struggle with temptation, or a fatal overthrow by passion or doubt. Happiness is never grand.”
― Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
