I hope you have missed seeing fresh postings here. As a matter of fact, I\u2019m spending my time with my other blog this week. At http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades<\/a>, I\u2019m telling my story of publishing success. Of course, you know that success is relative, right? In fact, I sat with my attorney for about $400 worth this morning. (Time is money in an attorney\u2019s office, right?) He told me the story of a client who is more privileged financially than most. He evaluated her portfolio and said, \u201cIt appears that you have $2.8 million in assets.\u201d<\/p>\n

She slumped in her chair and asked, in all sincerity. \u201cSo I\u2019m poor?\u201d<\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s all in how you look at it. Success is relative.<\/p>\n

I think you\u2019ll enjoy reading \u201cMy Story\u201d from my indoctrination into the world of freelance writing, the various forks in the road that led me to become a published author many times over and the inspiration for my latest venture, which has turned out to be the most successful of all; writing cozy mysteries.<\/p>\n

Join me at http:\/\/www.matilijapress.com\/catscapades<\/a> and read posts starting on January 6, 2015 through today, January 9. I plan to add two more installments\u2014January 10 and 11. Don\u2019t miss any of them. You might just gain some insight, learn a few truths and tricks in publishing, and receive the inspiration you need in order to succeed with your writing\/publishing projects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
