Hi Heather! Great post. I have a couple of novels that are "in the drawer" -- for now. They are like cantankerous children that I just cannot give up on. Hopefully, they will see the light of day once again. Meanwhile, I am working on the children that are a bit more mature and polished! Thanks for the words of wisdom.

I often think that one of the advantages of being new to something is that you're not yet aware of the 'rules' and so you blindly go ahead and break them. It's not until someone says, "you can't do that." that you find out about the barriers that are in place. And of course the reply should always be, "well...why not?"

In reply to Fae Rowen. Yes!!! BREAK THOSE RULES! I think women are shaking up the sci-fi genre quite a bit these days and it needed to happen. I'm wishing you much luck!

In reply to Linda Lee Williams. That's a must--telling stories we need to tell. Keep experimenting and pushing yourself until you hit what really works for you and your readers. You'll get there! :)

In reply to Vaughn Roycroft. Ha ha! Well, I don't know about being a badass as I take it on the chin often, believe me, but I know one truth is more powerful than any others--I have to follow my path, not someone else's. Looking forward to seeing you here shortly, V!

In reply to Carlene Eye. I hope to see you announce your good news, too, Carlene! Keep the faith. Publishing is a game of the last man standing. Show them your strength and your talent! I'm so glad the article spoke to you.

In reply to saraletourneau. Thanks so much, Sara! And yes, I've read several of Michelle's books. She's a favorite writer of mine, in fact. :) I adored her MADAME TUSSAUD and plan to read REBEL QUEEN shortly. Write on!
