Spending money on a book that fails to live up to its hype is like wasting $20 to go see a "hit" movie that's mediocre or painfully boring. <br /><br />Fortunately, I think the majority of books have a lot more entertainment value than the majority of movies!

I'll throw in a butt load of health problems and getting laid off from my job, too. And the usual family stress that comes from too many children with special needs and not nearly enough income to go around.<br /><br />Now I need a shrine for those two awesome comments I got recently about my writing and for a contract for nine more books...Jaleta Clegghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442641418941475763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-6249135754381363092012-09-06T06:24:05.702-06:002012-09-06T06:24:05.702-06:00Oh, let's see: rejections and more rejections;...Oh, let's see: rejections and more rejections; unending legal actions from my grandson's idiot father; a manuscript that is progressing with the approximate speed of a glacier and a persistent voice that keeps telling me it would just be easier to quit.
