Isn't the black box widget addicting? :)<BR/>I think it's best I don't calculate, it's too painful! <BR/><BR/>Dotterel, thanks for visiting. <BR/>I know what you mean, that advance sounds fantastic. Yes, and at least I'm not surrounded by that nauseating smell while I work at home. ;)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-37180232458434300042008-10-05T08:33:00.000-07:002008-10-05T08:33:00.000-07:00God, I'd kill for an advance like that, and it's b...God, I'd kill for an advance like that, and it's been longer than two years in my case.

I took the past two years off to write my novel, and I felt like I should be finished already, so I was relieved to see that I am in fact writing at a reasonable pace. Persistence and patience should be the writer's motto.<BR/>Best wishes with your writing.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01338896212556894322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-21843649999497902132008-10-02T11:27:00.000-07:002008-10-02T11:27:00.000-07:00It took my three years to write my first novel but...It took my three years to write my first novel but eight years to learn how to write i.e. learn grammar etc. I have been rewriting my first novel as I send it out and get feedback on it.<BR/><BR/>I don't think its how long it took you to write it, it's how good your writing is that counts.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes,<BR/><BR/>AnnieAnnie Wickinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16086872542948192391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14298690.post-40914749244915240342008-10-01T11:21:00.000-07:002008-10-01T11:21:00.000-07:00Thanks for the laugh, John.
