Was great.

We have an awesome fandom.

Now I'm exhausted, need to tidy the house and pack everything needed for the next trip.

Oh yeah, and Mari Saario won Atorox. FANTASTIC! (Now I just need to read the story too /cough)

I'll repeat the writers advice on how to become an author.

1) Write.

2) Finish.

3) Get published.

I'm still on step 1.

4) Profit!

[lumiyu]

This is writing we're talking about.

4) Get a well-paying dayjob.
5) Profit.

;)

I was about to say that point 5. Become new Arto Paasilinna. But in the light of the recent news, I'd say rather not....
Well, become new Kaari Utrio. When it comes to income from your production. Or Barbara Cartland for that matter. ; )

[mitzi007]

I'd love to be a new Ursula LeGuin but I'd settle for a new Stephanie Meyer.

[anckyria]

Any novel by you would be of far higher quality than the glitter vampires!

[mitzi007]

Admittedly it doesn't take much, but she's rich and has about billion readers so obviously she's doing something right.

[lumiyu]

But the "new Kaari Utrio" has been taken already. Maybe I could race mitzi for Stephanie Meyer.

[arye_sarin]

With New Utrio you mean Forsgren? Eh? Oh how much I envy her even though her writing style isn't quite into my liking. Good, but not utrio. : )

[anckyria]

Forsgren? Who Forsgren? I evidently haven't heard of her.

[mitzi007]

Carita Forsgrenilta ilmestyi Kolmen kuun kuningatar, joka kertoo Kaarina Maununtyttärestä. On muuten meikäläisiä ja kirjoittanut myös scifiä ja menestynyt kilpailuissa.

[arye_sarin]

Yep, Mitzi ehti vastatai ennen mua. Taitaa olla peräti Atorox-voittaja tai ainakin sijoittunut.

[anckyria]

Kämmentä otsaan ja d'oh, olishan mun pitänyt Carita tietää ja muistaa! Aivot hohoooooi..?!

[linblad]

L. Rantalaiho kävi sanomissa, että voisin kuulemma ryhtyä seuraavaksi Kaari Utrioksi. Ettei sen vähempää.

Joten takaisin kohtaan 1.

[arye_sarin]

No siinä tapauksessa mulla olisi sulle paljon vinkkejä mistä kirjoittaa. Saat henkilöiden nimetkin valmiiksi. ; )
Puhumattakaan fanikerhosta...
