2012 A to Z Blogging Challenge
Day 1
On Being a Published Writer
There is no one more important to the publishing world than the author.
The entire publishing industry rises and falls with those authors willing to publish their intellectual property.
Without the author, there are no stories.
Without the author, there are no books.
Without the author, there are no readers.
Without the author, there is no publishing.
Each and every one of us is absolutely vital to our industry. There are no exceptions.
Each and every one of us has something so unique to offer that only the individual can provide it.
Each and every one of us is deserving of the respect of our peers and our publishers. We are created equal and that equality has nothing to do with sales numbers.
Each and every one of us is entitled to the protection of copyright.
One very serious problem I've witnessed over and over throughout my years of being a published author is that too few of us realize our own value. This must change.
Authors are the publishing industry.

Welcome to the 2012 A to Z Blogging Challenge. This year I'm focusing on things I've learned, observed and experienced in the nine years I've been published. If you're a reader, I hope to offer an inside glimpse into the writer's world. If you're new to writing, I hope I can provide an insight or two. If you're an established writer, maybe you'll see similarities to your experience. Whatever path you walk, I welcome you to mine and hope you'll enjoy the 2012 A to Z Blogging Challenge.
