After all, what's a better antidote to reality than something surreal? What better conflict to read about than one that is so different to your daily experience that you can live vicariously through the well-developed characters without ever pausing to think: 'wait, what is that happened to me?'Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-69296355786396386372010-08-25T05:40:46.329-04:002010-08-25T05:40:46.329-04:00I did want to point out one error you're makin...I did want to point out one error you're making. Your assumption that recession reductions are equal to two years of inflation is incorrect. Inflation has been incredibly low (even non-existent in some quarters) over the past two years. If a house reduces an advance from $6000 to $5000, that is a 16.6% reduction in advance while inflation is measured in low single digits. Authors are making less per advance (with exceptions of course) and inflation isn't offseting that decline.<a href="http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-increase-your-sales" rel="nofollow">Increase Your Sales</a>santa clawshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324143469748594386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-69746930979804608932009-12-10T17:25:38.560-05:002009-12-10T17:25:38.560-05:00Thanks for this wonderful insider info!Thanks for this wonderful insider info!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7733835506387656648.post-38784343923904115092009-10-13T15:41:58.273-04:002009-10-13T15:41:58.273-04:00I stumbled onto your blog, laughed at the heading,...I stumbled onto your blog, laughed at the heading, and have been smitten ever since.
