This isn't a good tactic for anything in life. <br /><br />On another note, I stumbled onto your blog today and was surprised to see the image of The Art of Secrets on the sidebar. I just saw a flier for that at my work (Southern Living magazine), and recognized the cover. Can't wait to pick it up!<br /><br />Best,<br />AshleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08703929650922308560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11089716.post-15542347220412689972013-12-04T11:25:10.756-08:002013-12-04T11:25:10.756-08:00Interesting.

I'd like just one peek inside their heads....<br /><br />Are you also getting manuscripts shoved under your bathroom stall door at conferences? <br /><br />I want to hear ALL the stories. :)<br />Heather Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699360166269376285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11089716.post-56194174031652599552013-12-02T20:46:25.316-08:002013-12-02T20:46:25.316-08:00Wow -- I mean seriously?

I've never understood that about people. I'm sharing your informative post on my FB page as a warning to new authors.

I'm sorry this happened to you (and has happened multiple times in the past). I can understand your frustration and bow to your level of patience. lol. Thank you for this informative post. I'll make sure to share this and hopefully save other potential authors from making the same mistake. <br /><br />Best wishes,<br />Airicka Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06352514555418241357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11089716.post-87813750541709452982013-11-30T15:25:38.101-08:002013-11-30T15:25:38.101-08:00Now I've heard everything.

Well, probably not, but this takes the cake for a while. <br />Some Hollywood stories about success against all odds have glamorized CHUTZPA to such an extent (a la take a bold leap and the unlikely might happen) that it made it to the actual world.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
