And yes, I will.<br /><br />Except for yesterday, when I was so dragged out from not sleeping, I spent the day in a haze. No writing and no genealogy.B.E.

I hate snow, but in a way I think I'll be glad something will keep me in. Maybe I'll get some work done. :)Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-173702747791230686.post-4414306425976981292015-01-05T13:52:39.557-06:002015-01-05T13:52:39.557-06:00You can do it!

No sweat. ;-)<br /><br />For what it's worth, trad publishers don't bother to market anymore. They expect the author to do 99% of the marketing, publicity, public outreach... All of my weakest skills. (Who am I kidding? I don't have *any* of those skills.)

You have the talent, the drive, and I'm cheering you on! You can do this. More importantly, you WILL do this! :D<br /><br />Now put the mouse down, close the web browser and get to work!
