I always feel like I'm selling my ego right along with my artwork. I've usually broken even, but not without a huge chunk of stress.<BR/><BR/>You make me think of a book I read called "The Paradox of Choice." The book says exactly what you observed: When you have too many choices, you freeze and have trouble settling on anything.<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you have Andrew to support you through all of this. Don't forget you have supportive friends as well!<BR/><BR/>Peace and Laughter!<BR/>Cristinajugglingpayneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10921293051956441475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757189962843231486.post-8375338520476411462008-05-21T03:30:00.000+09:302008-05-21T03:30:00.000+09:30Don't get too discouraged.

But you never know what God is doing behind the scenes and we sometimes need to be reminded of that.<BR/><BR/>I keep meaning to pick up some of your books because I am sure my boys would love them, and I still hope to someday. The study guide sounds great! I may just work it into our "big change" to school next year.Leingang Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347474088428016816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2757189962843231486.post-6955901482425576682008-05-20T16:19:00.000+09:302008-05-20T16:19:00.000+09:30Andrew is right - this type of PR thing is necessa...Andrew is right - this type of PR thing is necessary even if it doesn't result in a profit. I think you are right about too many choices but you need to get your name out there. Good job! The effort is what matters. And it's very possible you'll get orders from all the novels you put in the showbags. Be optimistic!<BR/><BR/>I'm reading a book about writing at the moment and I'm learning a lot. The author stresses that you write because you love to, need to, and it makes you happy. If you don't make time to write, you aren't a writer. And you don't usually get rich. All great advice and not really surprising, right?<BR/><BR/>How fun that you won a raffle! God's little gift to lift your spirits. In my opinion, this day wasn't a write-off - it was a necessary step toward furthering your writing career. You learn from every experience.<BR/><BR/>Got your message tonight - thanks so much! I found it very interesting. I remember last year when your P.M. was elected, we don't get much Aussie news but I always listen up when we do (on the radio). Glad he seems to be doing a good job. As far as our elections, all I can do is pray for our leadership - it's in God's hands. And I'm so glad my message made sense. There is more that could be clarified but you got the overall picture. It's so complicated, to me anyway. But then, government usually is!<BR/><BR/>Take care and stay dry!<BR/>Katecall*me*katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902146131211374792noreply@blogger.com
