Writing is one thing, but marketing is difficult. The novel is The Price of a Pearl and it's set during the Revolutionary War period in England. I'd love to tell you more about it if you are interested!

It's always fascinating to me that writing is one of those "universal" timeless professions. The commonalities that we still share with the ancients like Ovid and Cicero or more recent scribes like Dickens, Dickinson, Tennyson, etc.--no matter what genre we're writing--always amazes me. Thanks for sharing the quotes of the greats. The words of my tribe continue to echo through the centuries to guide me and give much-needed direction and hope. ;0)Mackenzie Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00508204115833993481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-11057864171965079752014-10-12T21:01:42.365-04:002014-10-12T21:01:42.365-04:00Laura - I get the same thing.

I love when you come out of writing and you have that feeling of not knowing where you are for a second, that you are so consumed with what you are doing that lose place and time.Lisa McQuayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08261421741139099750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-80533221213548754312014-10-12T20:59:28.026-04:002014-10-12T20:59:28.026-04:00Thank you, Misha!!

I love when I'm so focused on a piece that when I step away I have a moment of confusion because I'm back in real world.Laura Carroll Butlerhttp://www.lauraswriting.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115759973832197426.post-39680880997108299892014-10-09T08:33:51.693-04:002014-10-09T08:33:51.693-04:00Wow, I love this!
