Both of you are in a position that I hope to be in one day, although maybe leaning more towards writing fiction for a living. Maybe I'll get there, maybe not, but I'll get published one day at least, whenever it is I get out of my weird phase :S.<BR/>But I dunno, maybe you could say that you and Scalzi are people I look up to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-18205767634459754792007-10-10T17:15:00.000-04:002007-10-10T17:15:00.000-04:00"John Scalzi and Tobias Buckell are both fantastic..."John Scalzi and Tobias Buckell are both fantastic writers who have great careers ahead of them, and neither of them are being handed huge contracts for millions of dollars (correct me if I'm wrong though). I only bring this bit up more before because too many people have hopes to be like those really popular and rich authors."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the nice words. As far as I know I'm not making millions. Or even really enough to live off, maybe about 50% of my income is fiction right now, blogging and freelancing makes up for the rest I need to put a roof over my head.Tobias Buckellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06188669531515919310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-52444373970599395532007-10-10T11:12:00.000-04:002007-10-10T11:12:00.000-04:00Well, maybe I'll address that very thing in a new ...Well, maybe I'll address that very thing in a new post :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571452656553970472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33813337.post-60796238906401777372007-10-10T05:03:00.000-04:002007-10-10T05:03:00.000-04:00Thanks for the advice.I am still dreaming about wr...Thanks for the advice.<BR/>I am still dreaming about writing a book that i am satisfied with.
