But I do like to see writers get rewarded for their work if it is at all possible.<br /><br />I love the generous impulse that sends us out to tell our stories for free. I wouldn't speak out against that. In a way, that's the purest and highest form of our craft.<br /><br />But getting paid is nice too.Jo Bournehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13457862962618886252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-80694105653129177012011-12-14T08:25:56.118-05:002011-12-14T08:25:56.118-05:00Thanks for the great advice.

We did write interactively online, which is how we met and learned to write well together. That was a long and enjoyable road to where we are now. <br /><br />Also enjoyed the blog before this regarding Historical Romance and Historical Fiction. It is a weakness of mine; leaning toward too much information. I admit to using great restraint in sticking to the romance. <br /><br />Always love reading your blogs!<br /><br />Carley Bauer (Carol Butler Crawley)Carol Butler Crawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323374933601908499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15617001.post-59160768642904457962011-12-13T21:12:24.039-05:002011-12-13T21:12:24.039-05:00Hi Landra --

It's different when you're a part of a blog contest or a round robin flash fiction deal. <br /><br />Otherwise I'm with Jo-- this business is tough. Hard. If you want to get somewhere you've got to log the trip miles. <br /><br />Thanks for a great post!Landrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16099833600342085109noreply@blogger.com
