The great thing about this fan page, Joe, is that it grew to over 400 fans with very little effort on my part. I had already done the hard work by setting up the Published Authors Network in 2007.

It sure is, Abe. I set out to make my books well known but only succeeded in putting my own name up in lights. Not that it matters. Those who knew me by my maiden name don't recognise me as "Watkins."

I know I have failed as an author -- I don't need to be constantly reminded. However, I do seem to have succeeded at becoming well known in the writing world. Given the choice, I would have preferred my novels to be widely read and enjoyed by readers of all ages while I remained relatively unknown. Your statement and the lack of sales prove how much I failed.

Shelagh,
You succeeded, but not necessarily in the way you envisioned.
I've read many success stories where this occurred. I believe your talents will be rewarded beyond your imagination. Keep doing the things that work without regrets.

We all have failed at becoming becoming great writers. Boo hoo!

We are alive and still trying.

You only fail when you stop. And then who knows...100 years from now your work may be a house-hold name.
Writers never make a market...all we can do is write. Piss on the rest of it.

Cool. Now you need to do something to bring the papparazzi around, to give your fans some interesting photos to look at. Smile

Shelagh as always I am a fan .
You are not a 'Failed Author' by any means.
