Let's start the discussion. Would you rather be published so you make money, or because your work is accepted by others? Would you rather have the money or the readers (assuming they weren't connected)? What other reason(s) might you have for wanting to be published? _________________ www.bishopta.com The first half-million words are just practice. - Dean Koontz http://boinc.berkeley.edu/

An author is a person who can never take innocent pleasure in visiting a bookstore again. Say you go in and discover that there are no copies of your book on the shelves. You resent all the other books --- I don't care if they are Great Expectations, Life on the Mississippi, and the King James Bible---that are on the shelves. ---- Roy Blount, Jr.
