Having a random/well-known person buy and review the book is not only more valuable, but more legitimate.<br /><br />Money is the little motivator for when the inspiration runs dry.Benjamin Sobieckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18343962892479384825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4045057682441280238.post-56280025561758513372011-10-23T08:21:09.124-07:002011-10-23T08:21:09.124-07:00I am wrestling with the same issues, Dana.

I didn't intend to write for money either but somehow money and getting read get intertwined.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.com
