Another Post About Business Realities

Today's post, "More Hard Realities for the Career-Minded Writer," can be found at the Magical Words website.  Magical Words is a blog that I write with fellow fantasy writers Faith Hunter, Misty Massey, and C.E. Murphy.  I hope you'll visit the site and enjoy today's post.

I liked that post - an aspect of the business I hadn't considered. I wish you luck with your new projects, even if they're under a new name.

Thanks very much, Jen. Here's hoping they'll be out in print soon.

Ah gee, what a great way to start Monday morning - with reality. Ironically this morning is my first day at my new "job", the gig that will require me to make those numbers you speak or the Jana G. Oliver brand will suffer just like everyone else's. Sobering.

Wishing you every success in the negotiations. To me you'll always be David B. Coe, even if you're writing as Archibald E. Whatever.

Thanks, Jana. There are worse fates than having to start over. It's a do-over, and do-overs often turn out pretty well. But you're a long way from this stuff. Enjoy your new gig and make the most of the opportunity. You're going to do great.
