And no problem on borrowing the idea. ;)<br /><br />Angie: HUGS! Thanks so much! You've been a great support with everything. :)<br /><br />Marie: I have SO been there on Thursday nights! I think if the question is cool enough, I might even take it and run with a whole blog post instead later in the month. :P I like the self-pub route a lot myself. It seems like you have much more control, and as long as you're diligent and do what you need to do, you can be successful. Yes! QUALITY is key. Thanks! :)<br /><br />Jenny: Thanks a bunch! :DJessica L.

I figure I'll check the question every week and if it's something I have an opinion on that I think is worth sharing, I'll do it, but otherwise, I'll put that time and energy into something else. I've upped my reading goal from this year, and I've joined an insane amount of challenges, but I'm hoping the reading won't interfere too much with my writing. I'm lucky because I work from home, so I can write all day, whereas most people have to squeeze it in before or after school or work. I'm hoping to release at least one more book in 2012 after Blue Sky Days. One of the nice things about being self-published is that you don't have to wait for the gatekeepers to approve it - once it's done, it's done and there's nothing stopping you from publishing it. I'd love to publish a few in 2012, but I won't sacrifice quality for quantity...that's what tends to give indie authors a bad name!<br /><br />Best of luck to you, I'll be checking in regularly of course! <3SweetMarie83https://www.blogger.com/profile/12518239232924662332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-20396481343567984642011-12-19T11:06:29.849-05:002011-12-19T11:06:29.849-05:00Awesome goals Jessica!

I feel like giving up FF sometimes as well, because it takes up way too much time on a Friday. Good luck with the reading challenges next year. I'm still trying to work out the ones I'm doing but this e-book challenge looks interesting....I might have to borrow your post idea again this month :)Lanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002224549199474383noreply@blogger.com
