Fail better, or earlier, or don’t at all.

Let’s face it: It’s been a weird year.

The good news is that a new one is upon us. What are your resolutions/goals for the New Year? #1 on my list, and probably a lot of other peeps around here, would have to be sell my novel, STAY GOD (sorry for the plug.)

What are yours?

    You are right, my resolution is also to sell your novel.

    I want to get in shape. I need to loose about 10 pounds before April. I have to compete with all the hunky dudes going to AWP next year.

    I’d love to place one of my novels. I need to write more, too. Promotion for Charactered Pieces has been damn time consuming.

    I actually already sold your novel, Nik, but I’m keeping all the money.

    Bahh! Foiled again!

    How far did you get with the profits? I’m curious what you can buy for two dollars and a package of envelopes.
