I was recently made happy and proud to learn that my good friend
cutelildrow had written and e-published a novella. The book is
Sparrowind, and it's about a young dragon who tries a new approach to life based on what he finds in books. I've bought it and hope to review it within a few days. I hear her sales are already climbing and that the book is likely

I read it when I was flying in the Air Force, my roomie was a fan of the writer and loaned me a few of his stories. Lots of very interesting stuff about flying and teaching people to fly, and just how cruel and unforgiving flying is.
Jonathon Livingston Seagull is actually not a very long story, but it is an interesting one, especially if you've read some of his earlier observations on seagulls, which from the point of view of a pilot have pretty awesome aerodynamics, which sadly they never really use to the full extent possible.

Hey, he can keep putting this much effort into all of this. He's wasting his time doing what he's doing. THE BOOK IS BEING SOLD BY A COMPANY. There's absolutely nothing he can do to stop sales.
That knowledge must absolutely BITE.
And the most hilarious part is, this is the 'best' he can do.

Just remember to keep writing, the more you publish, the more you will sell. I'm honestly thinking of quitting the new job I just got before I even get there because I'm afraid it will interfere with my publishing schedule.
