You have to keep the door shut & the analytical side of your mind out of it. <br />Then when you know what the core of your story really is, identify what is truly non-negotiable. After that, edit till your work is suitable for an appropriate market - do your homework, think critically - but hang onto that core. <br />That way I believe & hope you will make a go of it.K.M.Lockwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07540392557430776265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979362699302378314.post-35302159788580756842013-03-29T06:37:10.161-07:002013-03-29T06:37:10.161-07:00I hope so Nick !

Though this has hardly proved lucrative for me so far! Nonetheless, I don't think it has to be an all-or-nothing choice, you can meet the market halfway.Nick Crosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02571077124165351007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2979362699302378314.post-29213003955966617862013-03-28T22:44:17.836-07:002013-03-28T22:44:17.836-07:00It is definitely true.
