That's why I like you, Joe, for being personable and not snobby or self-consumed in the least. Great Post, Great Advice, as always.<BR/><BR/>and he didn't pay me to say that, either. lol, writers can't afford to most of the time.Douglas V.

I'm on the program committee for a literary festival, and we invite authors based partly on how well they've done on other panels we've attended. It's amazing how many don't follow your good advice and equally amazing how many do.
