wow. thank you for the link.
Great link. Not sure I have time for another blog, but this looks like lots of important info.
Keep in mind that he has 7 posts on his blog. You have three years' worth. Lazy Schmazy.
:) I just found that blog yesterday! It is great, but I still love yours, as Pimpmynovel makes me feel lazy also.
true dat. although your blog makes ME feel lazy.
Hi EA—
Thank you for the link, and thank you for blogging about children's books; I don't handle a lot of children's book sales myself, so your blog has sort of been my go-to for info/advice in that area.
Eric,
Can you explain Publishing's acounting practices?
Haste yee back ;-)
Never underestimate the power of laziness... it could change the whole world!
Haste yee back ;-)
You are lazy, you silly editor! LOOK at the gaps between posts! WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO while you are out basking by the pool with a margarita in your hand?!
*cracks whip!*
I have to go back and read it when I'm better focused--looks like lots of great info! And that title--LOL!!! My kids love the Pimp My Ride show (as do I)
:-)
Banned complain !! Complaining only causes life and mind become more severe. Enjoy the rhythm of the problems faced. No matter ga life, not a problem not learn, so enjoy it :)
