The Undiscovered Country

Hungry for the written word?

I was a little bored. Okay, not bored so much as not wanting to work. It's Friday afternoon, can you blame me?

Now what was I going to say?

Oh, yeah, I was a little bored (wasting time) so I perused some of my older items. I found the article I wrote in the January, 2007 edition of "Invalid Item"  ("Rumble in Blogville"  if you're interested, and want to waste a little time yourself).

I added a quote from an article in the January, 2007 issue of "The Writer", Page 9:

“Contrary to general belief, there are no writers starving in garrets today because their material is too good for general consumption. These small fictions are set up by the unsuccessful to save their own pride; and because we are a kindly and even a pitiful people, we have allowed them to stand. Actually, so vast is the appetite today for the printed word, so wide its intellectual range, that there is no reason why any good writing product, intelligently produced and skillfully marketed, should fail to find readers.” ~ Mary Roberts, The Writer, January 1937

Sage words for me right now. With my ISBN now in hand, I have zero reason to not submit my manuscript and cover (that's the book cover, not cover my head in shame and terror).

Yet I'm looking for that reason . . .

I know, read the quote above, take a deep breath and submit!
