The towers of unpublishable manuscripts
As promised, here they are -- manuscripts I've written that didn't make it into print because they stink. Well, not exactly stink, but I'll be nice to myself and say that I was learning. These are my practice manuscripts. And without writing them (and learning from my mistakes), I wouldn't be published now. Yep, some of us have to kill a lot of trees before we get published.
Drop back by on Monday, I'll tell you what books for writers inspire me.
Have a great weekend!

Wow, that's quite a stack of paper. Nice touch, sticking MLTF into the picture ;-)
Thanks! I thought about using a ruler, but thought MLTF would work better -- kinda like before years and years of work, and after. ; )
Leaning tower is right! Poor Raine looks so small next to those!
You may gnash your teeth to learn this, but the author I'm featuring now had her very first novel published. She's the first author I've interviewed who has managed to sell her first novel.
Of course, she did have some other short fiction sales.
Nope, doesn't bother me at all. Though I will admit to a wee bit of professional jealousy when a fantasy author gets a six-figure advance their first time out.; )
Thanks for posting that. Very informative, inspirational, and comforting.
Hi Bill,
Always glad to help. That's what I'm here for. ; )

Cool pic. It's a learning tower, isn't it? :) Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Yolanda!
