You know what the one thing my proffs have been repeating over and over for the past three days?

"If you're going into publishing for the money..." *snicker, laugh* "...Yeah."

Sad face.

Yeah, I know. Books are expensive. They are not easy to sell. But because I'm a Leo and therefore the universe revolves around me, I choose to believe that this comment applies to everyone else in the room except me. I do have a mansion to build, you know.

Sigh, if only.

Part of me holds on to the belief that if I write and publish my own books I may in fact make more money, therefore maybe me turning a profit. But it's harder to market self-published books...harder to get them into bookstores, and as we're learning, Indigo-Chapters is where people go to buy books...and if you're not accepted there...it's hard to get accepted anywhere else in terms of book selling.

Well, you know what that means.

I'll just make my book covers so irresistibly pretty that no bookseller or buyer will be able to resist them. I'll spare no expense on those shiny, reflect in the sun, vibrantly, feel-good-bumpy covers!

So if you're going into publishing to make money...:P
