You sure h...Thanks Christi for sharing your story. You sure have come a lone ways in a short time. I admire your spirit for continuing on. I'm a firm believer that the writing process is constant learning experience.<br /><br />Your experiences are what are shaping you to be an excellent writer. Growing and learning is important, and using it in your projects the best way to get published. In my opinion anyways; cuz that's what I keep telling myself.<br /><br />I was a little skeptical of this Gober Writer thing, but your story has inspired me to sign up too. I think its a great idea.<br /><br />Thanks for the opportunity to learn from other's experiences Emily, and thank you Christi for being brave enough to share.<br /><br />Excellent post.<br /><br />..........dholedolorahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715849844092553699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250095548371624935.post-79358266178181912912010-10-21T14:46:35.595-04:002010-10-21T14:46:35.595-04:00Thanks for sharing your road thus far, and major k...Thanks for sharing your road thus far, and major kudos to you for being so resilient and dogged about continuing to write. A lot of people would give up if they knew their first--AND their second--novel was just practice. Gawsh, especially 157K of it! LOL My first 10+ novels were practice, but I'm glad I didn't know that's "all" they were at the time. I'd rather know that in hindsight. heehee.Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250095548371624935.post-82279423621298329942010-10-21T12:42:33.386-04:002010-10-21T12:42:33.386-04:00I love this story.

It shows how things that seem so obvious from the outside, (like having to provide cover art,) are anything but when you find out the real scoop. <br /><br />This whole thing is far from intuitive. Thanks for the story.Melissa Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700191547004665402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250095548371624935.post-53643828607072175422010-10-21T11:52:50.173-04:002010-10-21T11:52:50.173-04:00That is a great story, Christi!

It's true that we all make mistakes and in a way it's a good thing because it teaches us what not to do and boosts us to strive to be better.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5250095548371624935.post-3413818007076469472010-10-21T09:22:36.031-04:002010-10-21T09:22:36.031-04:00christi- i never contacted a real artist or anythi...christi- i never contacted a real artist or anything, but i like to draw pics for my stories from time to time. :)<br />and anyway, some of those covers you've posted by that guy are A-mazing!<br />i hate to think you're going to shelf another one! but new ideas are super fun! :)<br /><br />emily- really, i think i've learned most everything i know from the bransforums! ya rebels have taught me quite a lot. lynda young has amazingly educational posts... as well as lydia kang, maybe genius, and clarissa draper... ummm...
