I don't know, Jesse. I do want to sell, and I hope to one day be able to be a full-time author. But I'm starting to realize just how much I've been fighting my natural tendencies as a writer to try to make my books fit the romance industry's current requirements for length and plot. I'm not being a genre snob, mind--if I *could* write the kind of thing Jo Beverley and Loretta Chase are putting out, I would, and I'd be thrilled with my work. Or if the genre shifted a bit and made room for epics again, I'd be happy to sell accordingly. Meanwhile when I look at the market for what I actually want to write, it's smaller and more amorphous, and therefore harder to make that first sale. But if you *can* make that sale and find your market, it's a great place to be--I guarantee you Diana Gabaldon sells more copies of her books than even very successful historical romance writers.
So. Stuff to think about. Meanwhile I think I'm going to keep writing the way I want to write.
