  1. Great post as always, Gwennie!

    Another step you could add to the garden list is to make sure you\’re \”planting the bulb where necessary\” and in \”the right season\”.

    In other words, subbing to the right market, at the right time. Because maybe HQ only has five opening a year for X-Y-Z. And…because maybe HQ already published ten of the same genre you\’re subbing and the genre is either over-exposed, or on its way out?

  2. *hugs Eden* You\’re welcome schnookems!

    Andi – very good point. Maybe I should run these by you before posting them. *grin*

  3. I think of the stuff I have already written with fondness, even if they are only worth gathering cyber dust or some such thing. But come to think of it, each written work goes onto paper or the net with pieces of us written into it. I think there is treasure in each one. Some pieces perhaps destined not to be published and some with water and attention could come to life and flourish. Thanks Gwen ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. Hehe . . .

    Okay – blogger wants me to type:

    cajxjowa

    And when I read \’jowa\’, I think of the little hooded dudes in Star Wars

    Anyone else think there\’re subliminal messages hidden in there, or some psychological experiment on a mass scale?

    Or maybe I\’ve had too many carmel corn quakes . . .
