Hi Matt! Great story of your journey. I'm going to go right out and get your book.
I'm at a pivotal moment now. Most writers dream of the day when they can leave the day job to write full time. I'm one of them, but in my mind, I was already well established as a writer, instead of still climbing that hill. Yesterday I found out my office is closing. In two weeks I'll be unemployed. The moment is here, when I discover just what kind of writer I am. When you come looking, I'll be the one fighting to the death for my dream. Short swords in both fists may be involved {grin}
