I come from a magazine background, so I think in terms of magazines and freelancing. I'm slowly shifting my mind to the world of fiction writing. In both worlds, though, starting small and working bigger is smart. In magazines, you wold start with local publications and short pieces, working your way up to regionals and finally nationals. In fiction, you start with short stories in small periodicals/anthologies, working your way up to larger publications and then books. Very good point.

I'm actually trying not to think of my book in terms of monetary value, but rather see it as a vehicle to help others. That way, if I touch someone with my writing, I consider myself successful. It's not based on how much I will earn. Making a contribution to someone else brings value to my life. Karen http://www.karenfollowingthewhispers.blogspot.com Good topic.

This means not getting top dollar for their first books, most of the time. I tend to focus a lot of time building my resume with short fiction. It never pays as well anyway, and a bunch of short stories can really reach a lot of people and build buzz around an author.
