I was under the impression Thrythlind was self publishing?

I was not assuming that the desire to self-publish now ruled out ever at any future point being interested in being professionally published; if i have missed something to that effect my apologies.

jeno:
Fair enough.   :P

Thrythlind:
doh!  Sig...forgot about that.  Yeah, I have a website now...moment...a lot of the website is fanfiction, since I'm trying to divert my monthly readership in ff.net to my website...but some of my original stuff is there.

I'm operating there under the idea of showing some of the stuff and keeping the rest only for people who purchase the book.  Sort of the way webcomics add extras to the books, but most of the story is still publicly available.

With Greenwater and Zodiacs, that's most of the story (Greenwater doesn't display the four prologues and Zodiacs leaves off the backstory for the villain and the mentor).  With Bystander, I left out the main story and through in the episodic flashback backstory where you get to know the character.

Btw, I actually have five books out now, working on a sixth, not including the stuff I'm contracted for.

Thanks for all the advice.  I think mostly I was getting discouraged with the fact that some of this stuff I have to makes me feel like a twit.

And yes, I'd LOVE to have someone pick up my stuff so I can write and not worry about promoting.
