But I grew up in the family business, working since I was 10, went to business school, etc. Thinking about the bottom line is part of my genetic makeup! LOL!! The two lines of thought eventually need to meet! Thanks for being another encourager, J Alexa!! :) {grin} Yes, I’ve heard that advice a hundred times or two.

Haven't you ever heard that you should never worry about writing what's selling? What might be selling now probably won't be in the two or three years it takes you to finish writing the book, get an agent, find a publisher, deal with an editor, print the book and market it. Write what you love to write because that's what makes a good book - passion for what you're doing. :D I had the opportunity to meet Phillipa Gregory (author of The Other Boelyn Girl) and this is exactly the advice she gave me. http://j-alexa.com/blog/index.php?itemid=4&catid=7 I’m glad to hear that you have such good friends to kick you in the butt!
