I've been so disappointed lately to, as you said, hear people talk about only buying books for free or 99 cents. I try to remind them that if everyone does that, no writer will be able to afford to write books anymore!Jerusha Agenhttp://www.sdgwords.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-13221890854174656082016-06-14T11:54:01.372-04:002016-06-14T11:54:01.372-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindy Sproleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830332218529286736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-67446619992639638202016-06-14T11:53:53.582-04:002016-06-14T11:53:53.582-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Cindy Sproleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830332218529286736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-13902248196908058342016-06-14T11:53:41.547-04:002016-06-14T11:53:41.547-04:00It's important to look at Publishing with eyes...It's important to look at Publishing with eyes wide open.
