Heck, I know there are published authors on my flist, so this isn't directed at them; they get the "Go you!" However, for the Suethors we deal with for time to time, advice: it's not just for romance writers anymore.

Borders is doing some publishing deal contract contest thing off of that site, if anyone's interested, but somehow I can't see myself knocking out a multi-chapter romance novel by the twenty-second. Short genfic, on the other hand... that I can do. ;)
