Fame and fortune aren't the goal for me, although a nice publishing contract would be a sweet bonus ;) I don’t know how NOT to write!!!

It's so true... Tessa - Back to school! That sounds like quite the leap you're taking, but I think it's wonderful when we're willing to break out of our comfortable boxes and take a risk for the sake of our passions and dreams. How interesting that you're Icelandic! I'll have to check out your blog :) Barbara – LOL! Thanks for the giggle! It’s so true…

I'm going to study English and that way I both have more time to write and learn the details of the language of wonderful words (I'm Icelandic). Fifth semester: creative writing!

Neither one will feed a family of four. I'm definitely not in it for the money. ^_^ Reminds me of the old joke: How is a writer like a 10-inch pizza? Neither one will feed a family of four.

I totally agree! “I just want to be able to make writing a career, as opposed to sitting around and blaming the system, you know?”

You just keep entering and one of these days you just might win. In the process, enjoy the journey. :) I believe that every book I write is another chance, so it’s like entering the lottery.

And I probably should have been a bit clearer -- for me, I think getting in the 0.01% means being successful on my own terms, not necessarily having a 'bestseller'. I just want to be able to make writing a career, as opposed to sitting around and blaming the system, you know? I also love that you have an interesting day job that you can bring knowledge back from into your writing :) Louisa - So true! We write because we can't stop writing, because it's burning us up from the inside out! And yet, isn't it odd how the general public still seems to have this perception of writers as wealthy and affluent? If only they knew the truth... :) Lydia, exactly!

It should be your passion. You're doing it because you have to do it. I keep hearing that if you’re in writing to make money, then you’re doing the wrong thing. It should be your passion.

Still, that's why I have a day job! I'd like to write a book that a group of people will love. I don't need it to be some blockbuster best seller. A couple of good reviews would thrill me!
