I could stand to shake off a few "I can'ts" too.<br /><br />Lisa, I totally know what you mean about the "M" word. As writers, we need to tell the stories in and from our hearts. Who knows what the next bestseller will be, but if we write what we love--not someone else's idea of what will sell--chance are we're going to appeal to a lot of readers who will love them, too. <br /><br />Let's collectively toss the M-word into the inferno and keep writing the stories we were meant to tell.L.

No, I do not think that will put me on any bestseller list. Yes, I've begun self-publishing my more obscure, less "marketable" works--for art's sake. No, I do not think this will bring me fame and fortune. Yes, I am still one hell of a writer!!!Leigh M.
