In her most recent post, Janet Reid, Literary Agent, pointed me toward a blog post by Toni McGee Causey. This post is inspiring, beautiful, and everything that is good and magical about following your dreams.
Go read it.
Seriously.

hi – thought i should let you know (especially cause you deleted stuff off FF and TWFF site. that there is this wiki which records FF.net activity. and you have a page. you can request it be deleted btwhttp://www.fanhistory.com/wiki/Seraphyn
Thanks for the heads up, but that profile is definitely not about me. I've never been involved in the Potter or whatever other fandoms she has listed on her site. And, as much as I'd like to claim otherwise, I am not the first or only person to use the moniker Seraphyn. 😉
I just thought you'd find these two links interesting, as they both promote self-publishing vs. traditional publishing. In the New York Times article, read the comments.
It's definitely an option that I'm considering in the back of my mind, but I'd like to try the traditional route first. There are definitely benefits to self-publishing, but I don't know if I'm the right kind of person to really make a self-published title successful. Thanks for the article links, though! 🙂
