I meant, of course, courage! Unfortunatley, although I edit my books thoroughly, I rarely remember to edit my comments before I hit "post". Anyway, as you now know Holly, I read your book, and enjoyed it.

Congrats on your own books - three is brilliant!<br /><br />Here's to making our own fairytale endings!Holly Hepburnhttp://hollyhepburn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552332712314622447.post-77451846045977142432013-05-17T18:27:05.903+01:002013-05-17T18:27:05.903+01:00Yes, definitely. You have to have the corpurage of...Yes, definitely. You have to have the corpurage of your convictions. If you believe you can do it and you don't - you will always wonder "What if..." At least that will never be your lot. <br /><br />I have self published 3 of my own books, largeky because I have ME and don't have the energy to stress out waiting for the post every day until I can find a publisher. At least when you self-publish, you are in control, and you remove some of the stress levels. You also make the deadlines less.....er......dead!<br /><br />I completely agree though, if you don't pay someone to proof read and edit, do it yourself until you go cross eyed, take a break, and do it again. Then draft in your friends to look for errors. All the best, I hope you sell loads. I will go take a look.Loretta Livingstonehttp://www.treasurechestbooks.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
