Some have shut down divisions completely. And just because "someone" with "authority" says it's crap doesn't mean it is. Self publish it and tell them to eff off. ;-) <BR/><BR/>If you need any help with the self-publishing, just let me know. I'd be glad to help. Self publishing doesn't have to be expensive.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537755843915519733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116597182927092957.post-64266516617189279102009-01-21T13:26:00.000-05:002009-01-21T13:26:00.000-05:00Be strong... be BRUTAL.

Ball the yarn up and put it in a time out if it doesn't immediately speak to you about how it can be better than it has been. If it just needs a break, bag it up and let it rest while you move on to better things. <BR/><BR/>I think you need some nice accessory knitting that works up quickly and is very satisfying. Maybe use some of your very pretty handspun. The inherent enthusiasm of using something you love, that you made yourself is very inspiring. <BR/><BR/>As far as the writing goes, you've done the literary equivelant of saying "I want to make it in the music industry". Entertainment, as you know, is brutal and not for the faint of heart. I think you're a good writer, and that you could be published. As long as you're continuing to challenge yourself, continuing to learn and improve, then you're on the right track. When it stops being something you love it's time to move on. I know you'll make the choice(s)that are right for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
