That you fine people should be as pleased as I am with what Kathy has done, and is continuing to do, makes me very excited for the future. Not only for her, but for all of us!<br /><br />BlazeBlaze McRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593633013555705302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716231626643098959.post-79401256534445653062012-01-02T07:20:42.041-08:002012-01-02T07:20:42.041-08:00Very thought provoking post from a writer's pe...Very thought provoking post from a writer's perspective. Only a writer can relate to the need to write and that often times the characters that come alive inside us don't always necessarily pop up in the same genre. I look forward to discovering your work.Efi Loo Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344151113479309251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716231626643098959.post-44902724417765812862012-01-02T07:19:46.020-08:002012-01-02T07:19:46.020-08:00Glad this is the first thing I saw on facebook, in...Glad this is the first thing I saw on facebook, in a link from Blaze this morning, especially considering we're starting a new year. You touched on a few things that have been running though my head in regards to goals and success for 2012. I enjoy writing about whatever comes to me, regardless of genre, but enter the new year feeling a bit stuck in horror and paranormal. This was great inspiration to just go with the flow again.<br /><br />Building a readership is also top of my agenda this year with my first episode based novel coming out. I spent too much time last year watching the unethical promotion practices of authors in this changing publishing industry; everyone blaming publishers when a lot should be looking in the mirror. Maybe I'm overly sensitive because I spent a number of years helping small business owners network the right way. It's sometimes like being stuck in the room with a bunch of financial planners and multi-level marketers who don't have ears. <br /><br />I'm going into 2012 thanking the Universe for the great author friends I have made and WILL not obsess over sales and whether my books are on the Amazon top 100 list. I'd rather take years to ‘make it’ while connecting with each and every story I create than lose my integrity and my mind in regards to book sales along the way.<br /><br />Thanks for the venting space.Winnie Jean Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02703933737085081545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716231626643098959.post-74903582194315109572012-01-02T01:24:08.799-08:002012-01-02T01:24:08.799-08:00Well done piece, Kathy.

I, too, write in different genres, as difficult and fun as it is, and it's great to read about another author who does this.<br /><br />And I love your "creatively obsessed," it's great! Now I know what's going on with me...Cindy Keen Reyndershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01538914807361602296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716231626643098959.post-17183099615585558532012-01-01T09:55:58.867-08:002012-01-01T09:55:58.867-08:00Thank you for being so kind to Blaze, my friend! I...Thank you for being so kind to Blaze, my friend! It was very easy for me to say you had it in you to write great sci-fi. I love reading the genre, and you write it so well, adding in romance and humor to the mix. When I read about Dar, I put myself in his place, saying "oh, crap" one minute and "ooh,la la" the next. That's the sign of great writing: the reader becomes a part of the story. I'm Dar. There is no denying it.<br /><br />You are such an amazing, prolific writer as well, cranking out quality tales in a short time. <br /><br />I will always support your writing. I have to. I want to read more of your sci-fi, mystery, military, and erotica. You will do well, Kathy: it's just a matter of time before you are well known. I will smile broadly and email you asking when the next story comes out. <br /><br />BlazeBlaze McRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593633013555705302noreply@blogger.com
