Did you know her so-called next book, "Tales of Beedle the Bard" will only have 7 copies printed? They're all for rich people. Get over yourself, woman. Enough said.<BR/><BR/>I, too, love the story of the self-pubbed lady who made very, VERY good. One wonders whether she re-wrote the self-pubbed book, or improved on it? Or did she even attempt to sell it until she tested the waters by self-pubbing it? Inquiring small press authors want to know.<BR/><BR/>The next good news I'd love to hear is how a small press, struggling, keep-on-keeping-on writer scores a "very nice deal" somewhere in the upper 6 figures. Lower 7 would be fine, too.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100565897627429788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31121848.post-90961688705918509982007-11-05T11:48:00.000-06:002007-11-05T11:48:00.000-06:00Have to admit, I'm pretty sick of J.K.

Anybody who's been dirt poor (been there, done that) and then been blessed to succeed in a very scary business should thank God and be so grateful they don't have time for petty lawsuits to keep someone else from making money too.<BR/><BR/>I loved the story of the self published book. Shows me that woman really had a big dream and kept sticking with it until she got that 2 million dollar deal. Sounds like a terrific book too.<BR/><BR/>Your office sounds lovely and peaceful--write on!Donna Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04242871850994009888noreply@blogger.com
