Think again...

One of the harder aspects of being a writer is taking a long cautious look at the contracts you have with a publisher... and deciding to cancel all of them. For me that was nine pending including 2 print books (OMG) and at least 20 already out in the world. Why did I do that crazy thing? Because these stories are my babies and I object to having them shaking by proofreaders who questioned a Shakespearean reference, attempted to change "Roald Dahl" to "Ronald Dahl", were too busy attacking my style to bother picking up on actual errors... yeah. A few other things in there, too, but when production quality goes down it's definitely time to rethink.

Might not be so smart to say such in public either. Ha. Onto researching options as I still believe in the stories and want them out there being enjoyed.

great work writing is.
the best part is the thinking time, thought reviews, and final print.
