Too long a time and you've lost a sense of it and you're exhausted with the publicity stuff. Too short and--well, you've said it Should I get an agent I'm going to try and pick a publisher that can get it out fast so I live to see it. That's my priority all right. So if Kinko's willing so am I.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18499463.post-85952617784579484172007-10-05T13:02:00.000-04:002007-10-05T13:02:00.000-04:00I'm so behind on my blog crawling!!!
