Thanks for the inspiring post. I’m just getting started in epublishing — my first erotic novella will be out in September with The Wild Rose Press. Your post is proof positive I’m headed in the right direction.

Congrats on all your succes.

Thanks, Katie and Jennifer.

Kaylea, it’s simple *G* They go to a sitter four days a week and THAT is my writing time. When they are home, I usually only write if I’m on a killer deadline. My sitter is like a BFF forever. Always. And always…

I’ve realized that writing fast is an advantage. I think that’s why I love epublishing.
I’m still aiming for NY, but I love my epublishing. I’ve been one of your fans for two years (since I discovered Dear Author).

Hi Shiloh. Thanks for all your hard work with Romance Writers For Change. You’re a mom, right? How in the world do you find time to get all that writing done? I’ve got two little guys, neither of whom are in school yet. If you’ve got any tips, I’d love to hear them. I always feel like a bad mom when I put the kids in front of the TV so I can squeeze in my page count, so right now I write in bursts. Translation? I have to get my writing time in whenever I get a chance.
Thanks,
Kaylea Cross

Shiloh:
I am truly awed by how many books you write a year. And I really appreciate all that you’ve done and are trying to do for all the people who are epubbed, myself included.
Thank you,
Teresa Reasor

That’s great to hear, Shiloh! Oh and I totally agree about building the backlist! TOTALLY. That’s really when I’ve seen the money take off. And that’s the great thing about epublishing. Our backlist is also available longer (usually).

Katiebabs… hmmmm… not dreaming about Candy might help.

Eh, I don’t know. The best thing to do is just MAKE yourself write. One of the things that really did help me was getting my blog going, because I got into a habit of making myself get some sort of schedule.

Even if you’re just making yourself write a half page, or a page at first, once you’re doing that regularly, push for more.
