Haven't had a boom year so far, but at least I got royalty cheques in 2013.

I've had booms some years and busts others. 2013 was a relatively good year, yet I couldn't live by it. So yes Liane, that's definitely on my bucket list.Jewel Amethysthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14813773386476356666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-7330495864178394552014-07-23T23:41:59.475-04:002014-07-23T23:41:59.475-04:00LOL, Marissa.

I'm adopting your refinements. My best year was 2009 thanks to the Dorchester advance--which isn't saying much. This year so far has been my second best, but nothing to write home about. <br /><br />Give that CV some time. It's early days yet.Liane Spicerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035607144500219524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-73957187209559711972014-07-22T12:28:46.804-04:002014-07-22T12:28:46.804-04:00Very similar to what i would say on this topic.Very similar to what i would say on this topic.Charles Gramlichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02052592247572253641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5594341074652821017.post-67068201585129618292014-07-22T10:39:36.062-04:002014-07-22T10:39:36.062-04:00Your list is remarkably similar to mine, Liane.

My best year ever came in the form of a single sale (rescued a novel by a *name* who couldn't be bothered).<br />As you know I've just finished my MFA in hopes of teaching writing at the university level. So far, my CV hasn't generated a storm of interest, but I remain hopeful.KeVin K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14792797517571690942noreply@blogger.com
