I finally had to admit what I've been denying for the majority of my life. I am a bit of a pessimist. This is not a good thing to be if you're a writer. For instance, and please don't think I'm not thrilled, but I earn about $0.53 per book sale. If I'd have done the math, I'd have realized that's what it would be. I asked my husband, "Why am I even writing?" His answer was, "Because you love doing it." Okay. http://noveliststhoughts.blogspot.com/
