Cigar, anyone?

I did not have sex with that woman . . . oh, wait. I did! Yes, I am the Bill Clinton of the blogosphere. I have adamantly denied knowing what I know, doing what I’ve done. I’ve lied to many people, many of you, and now, because the time is right, I’m here to tell you the whole sordid truth.

I *am* one of the publishing professionals behind Romancing the Blog. There. It’s out. No thunder, no lightning . . . whew, I’ll go on.

Oooh

Time to be mean and tease. I have the title for my next Brava. I LOVE it. My editor called me today to tell me to think it over, but I didn’t have to. (She’s SOOOOO good!) Anyhow, I won’t say anything until she runs it through all the channels first. But I’m happy!!

Weasels

Back to the questions. Michelle #2 asked:

I just want to know how you deal with the “weasels of doubt,” or if you stop getting them after XX number of books.

I guess that depends on what these weasels are causing me to doubt. *g* Do I doubt my ability to make another sale? Right now, no. Two years from now, who can say! Do I doubt my ability to write a book that works? Overall, no. On an hourly basis, yes. *g* Do I doubt that I have what it takes to be successful? Never! Always! Do I doubt that I know what I’m doing? Constantly.

Thing is, I’ve done it before. I’ve done it many times. And I’ve done it all with the weasels circling, and things have turned out just fine! But you have to remember I made my first sale in 1993 so I’ve got a dozen years of angst under my belt. By this time I *should* have some sense that things will turn out okay in the end! They do – even though they’re usually late. *g* So I suppose that’s how I deal with them. By looking back over what I’ve accomplished and taking it to mean that I know what I’m doing!
