Make way for Super Gran

How Joe Konrath Got Published is really quite a lovely tale. The line which sums it all up is: "After ten books, twelve years, and four hundred and sixty rejections, my dream had finally come true." Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The piece appears to only be available in the ebook The Newbies Guide To Publishing (pdf, 6.82MB), which is chock-full of interesting information, and free.

In other news, the flat in Campbeltown has gone up from £99 a month to £299 a month. Not entirely sure why. Maybe they heard that I was thinking of renting it and wanted to put me off. The cheapest place Zoopla have listed in Scotland is now a £179 a month two-bedroom flat in a little town between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Maybe I'll find a flatshare in Glasgow instead. I might even end up going somewhere entirely different, despite the fact that I've spent thirty-something quid on the sleeper train ticket. I find it hard to make my mind up before I absolutely have to.
