Jan Steckel
I just had a bunch of poems published in magazines, and a dear friend lit a fire under me and said "it's time you had a book out!" She actually paid me by the hour to work on my own book, so I could afford to take the time out from my paying copyediting job to do it. I don't know how I got so lucky or what I did to deserve her, but she's one of the best things that ever happened to me.
