So, I take a walk down memory lane and something awesome gets given to me. Dungeonwriter, as always, you rock.

In case you decided not to read the article, it's about Ms. Clare. Rather than regard her with bemusement and the shadow of the old rage that she used to

So, just curious, how many times have I given similar thoughts to you? The thing is, you need to have both. One is complimentary to the other. You have to both tell and market.

And yes, I am awesome.

What can I say? I finally banged my head against the wall enough for it to make sense. I know I tend to vacillate a lot, thinking that one is more important than the other, but in the end, everything has its time, right? Once the story's wrote, it's more important to be a marketer, but there's no sense in being a marketer unless you have something to market.

I'm glad we agree on your awesome.

If you want my honest view, I think Clare researched the market and wrote based on marketing, but that's just my impression.

Haha, we do.

PS, I'm taking out Richard Rumelt's book out of the library.

ARGH. They don't have any copies of it in our libraries. I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID TO YOU. RALEIGH IS NOT WORTH LIVING IN. /snark

I'll review it for you, dear.

Sigh, the law firm work life balance is supposed to be nice there. If the guy doesn't convince me to move to London, it's on the list.
