I loved the quote by Adam Rex: “Aim Low! They wouldn’t call it bottom-feeding if there wasn’t food down there.”

I loved his dirty suggestions for getting published, too. (They *were* dirty, right--some of them?? It isn't just me?)

Great words of wisdom. I had a similar thought to #8 recently--when your (character's) back's against the wall, you have to do something (or something will be done to you).

Oh, yes, I know. :>) I even gave my MC an award ceremony, to make up for his really bad week.

THAT IS AWESOME. The next time I have a bad day, I'm emailing you!!
