And you ask why so few people know about space islands?
sitcom is a good idea, dramas are best but you won't prove me wrong
until you get the job done. It took me TEN Years from start to
finish to complete my novel, SEALION'S BYTE but I got the job done.
Finding a publisher was difficult but I got the job done. I have even
managed to sell copies of my novel though not many. Critics don't
review novels not written by the Big Boys' approved few and their
little ladies from Ba Ma and Wesly with their little degrees
of 'literature' who pick them. I'm selling copies, though not many.
At twenty nine dollars ninety five cents, they're rather expensive.
Still, I am not quitting. My Brother died of cancer last year, a few
days before Christmas. It took him more than a year of struggle with
the disease before he died. He leaves a wife and a kid. My family
died each day with him. Each day the phone rang I felt hope but I
also felt great dread. Listening to mother cry was hell. I have
finally resumed work on my next project.
If you believe in your idea, push it.
If this thing is bombing on you, take it apart, salvage what you can,
learn what you can and start over.
