When you think about ...You ARE a real live author. When you think about it, you are using the latest medium to get your works read, and people are enjoying it and asking for more. So don't let anyone tell you otherwise. <br />Wattpad is merely the bookshelf (though maybe I shouldn't say merely as it does a great job of giving new authors the confidence to get out there), but you are the author. <br />Have you read Foucaults pendulum by Umbert Eco? Guy who write Godfather. In one chapter he describes the pitfalls (con) of self publishing. An old book, but the con (oops, I said it) is still being perpetrated today. Worth a look or I will gladly message you the abbreviated version sometime, if you want. <br />However....you said 'give' me a copy, to be a real author you should say SELL. Just joking. <br />Carry on the good work.

I held off on telling everyone was going on until I was 100% sure I was going to sign the contract (I made some minor negotiations, mostly to make sure that I would be allowed to continue posting writing to Wattpad).<br /><br />And - if Paladin ever makes it onto shelves - I would LOVE to give you a signed copy! That makes me feel like a real live author :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01405559818393318716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2670459985879869224.post-51618504992129245322013-05-04T11:41:43.950-07:002013-05-04T11:41:43.950-07:00Also add that I'm a bloke ,nearly 60 years old...Also add that I'm a bloke ,nearly 60 years old and I have read a lot.

There's lots of different ways to approach planning. I have so much to say about planning i made a blog post about it a while ago...<br /><br />If I was you I would probably be screaming still. I'm so happy for you though!! did you go out and celebrate or do real mature people not do that? Or are you like too sophisticated to celebrate being so freaking amazing?
