Will tell you how when I see you in May. <br /><br />Excellent advice! Yes... write, write, write. <br />So... I was thinking, imagine the slow relaxed life of just writing. You need a marketing manager! Maybe it would be worth the money.

Myself, I had 3 in the stew. Now I'm only 1 ahead of myself and trying to write 3 this year in the midst of two releases in one year - insane! So you are giving great advice, write, write, and write. And create a marketing plan with dates/days to do specific task and give yourself 2 days off a week from marketing so you don't burn out.LM Prestonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624508396760965680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-377741836634273944.post-36862626407308556942012-01-18T20:27:21.983-08:002012-01-18T20:27:21.983-08:00Wow, Heather,

I haven't written anything new in ages and I am still fine tuning my second novel gearing up for the SCBWI conference in less that two weeks. <br /><br />Congrats on your pace and keep up the good work!<br /><br />HI, Linda and Karlene...

I did take time to myself after my last round of subs. It was great, but I knew I couldn't let it go on long. Now plunging into the project I've been percolating, and oh, it feels good. I hope you'll find a little time to relax in spite of all the pressure. Don't burn out, Heather!
