Went through the publishing process, finding an agent et al. It was all consuming so I gave up on the dream. I've written three chapters on the new novel and need to pick some brains. I'd love to find out more. like self publishing etc. Things are different in the publishing world since my experiences. donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136420115688099157.post-16296027090335771792019-01-22T14:38:24.026-05:002019-01-22T14:38:24.026-05:00I don't see where I can comment Sandra.
