Writing, I think, is not apart from living. Writing is a kind of double living. The writer experiences everything twice. Once in reality and once in that mirror which waits always before or behind. ~Catherine Drinker Bowen, Atlantic, December 1957
Today’s post might look deceptively short. I assure you, it will take you quite awhile to do the information stored here any justice.
I asked some of my friends to send me any numbers they’d be willing to share on their self publishing venture and I hit the jackpot with Suzan Harden who sent me the articles that I’ve included here today. I thought about compiling the data and and spitting it back out, but it’s best just the way it is- it’s the honey pot of all honey pots of data!

I hope you all read through these articles and study the numbers. An educated author will always trump the one who simply throws stories up for sale.
Again, I want to give a BIG shout out to my friend Suzan Harden for providing the links. It’s always nice to know that folks are willing to help!

Thank you for the post. I’m going to have to wait until later to do the articles justice.

Give yourself a nice chunk of time because they are loaded to the hilt with information. I so hope this helps our Muse Tracks’ community and that people do take the time to study! Good to see you here again, Ellaquinn.

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on a variety of websites for about
a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard excellent things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

BS | MUSETRACKS”. Would you mind in the event Iapply a few of your suggestions?
Many thanks -Cassie
