Good to know there are other driven oddballs writing both poetry and prose!

I think the best mental approach is to set high expectations for what you write and a low bar on the money you'll make. Publishing is essentially a casino of gambled hope.

Finally, never forget the emotional, financial and critical support of those close to you. Without them I wouldn't be here.

I had no idea you had so many books to your credit, Jack. You are to be congratulated!

Your experience shows me why being an Indie Author and learning how to sell and market your books is so important today. I know you as a speculative poet, but if your heart is in prose, you should remain there.
