I can't stand the reality that publishing, which I've spent my entire life involved with, has changed so drastically that great writers go unread while some who never wrote a word before the invention of the Internet are making a living at it. It's all about sales, isn't it? Not talent, but sales savvy. The magazine Buck and I are working for is closing and taking its website with it, which leaves me, Buck, Moonbeam, and the rest of our staff wondering what on earth we'll do now. Oh how I wish I'd chosen a medical career instead of writing. Best of luck to you always, ~W I’m glad you’ll be writing a second book, Beth.

And it's a concern I've had as well. Your advice is sage and appreciated. The funny thing is that the people who are seeking free tools on the internet are not really the people who are interested in the book. It's the people who know the tools are out there and would like a great way to sort through them -- that's the audience that I speak to best. People like me (who seek free tools online all the time) are definitely too cheap to spend the ten bucks. :) No matter the future of the first book, the second book ideas are flowing... :) Thanks, as always.

This subject would make for a better web site than book (did I write this opinion to you last year?), especially since the material becomes dated so quickly (certainly by perception if not reality). My suggestion is to take what you have learned from writing this book, including the realization of what must go into the upfront marketing, and begin work on your second book. You have so much talent, and have already demonstrated mature patience. I am actually a little hesitant to write what may come across as severe (not my intention), but it comes from my experience, as well as my sincere intentions and wishes for your success.
