The Business of Writing

The Business of Writing

I spend a lot of time on the business of writing. Sometimes I think I spend too much time, but I actually like it. When I get an agent for my second novel -- I'm not quite looking yet -- I can see myself wresting some jobs from his/her hands.

Today I'm writing a contract to give permission to a professor to use material from Brigid's Charge in a book that will be published next year by an academic press. I'm honored, but still have to take care of myself. Luckily, and ironically, I spent the past year handling permissions for another author, so I know how to do it, and I have contracts from a number of publishers upon which to draw for my own.

    Cynthia, what a wonderful idea! I will be sending this on to some writers I know here in Eugene who will surely find your experiences and interviews inspiring. Lovely to see you shining out from my square piece of cyber nothingness. Surely Calliope is looking over my shoulder!
