This is a brief post to highlight\u00a0one that Joe Konrath has up over at his blog\u00a0 Joe's blog is a Newbie's Guide to Publishing and the post up now is titled \"Pushing the Button,\"\u00a0 <\/a>written by author Jude Hardin.\u00a0 It deals with Jude's struggle about when to quit the day job and write full time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yes, Virginia, Jude pushed the button and in this post he explains\u00a0the struggle to get to this point and how he got the courage to\u00a0live the dream.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not only does Jude explain the inner and outer journey that got him to this point, but Joe Konrath gives tips on how a writer knows it's time to stop dreaming and start writing full time.\u00a0 It's a great post from Jude and fabu tips from Joe.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Writing full time is my dream too.\u00a0 I'm not at the point where it's possible yet.\u00a0 I'm still trying to write my way to writing full time.\u00a0 Recently, I've\u00a0made a conscious decision to set aside more time for writing so that I can push out more books for my fans.\u00a0 More books mean more sales and\u00a0that is the path to paradise - writer style.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the weekend I'll blog and give y'all all the lowdown on my new one that's out now and I may even toss out a hint about the one I just started.\u00a0 My WIP is the next installment in my Forever Series - it's Peter's story.\u00a0 Fans have been asking for that one. \u00a0 And I love hearing from readers.\u00a0 It's nice to know that there are folks crazy enough to take a trip over the top with the duck lady.<\/p>\n

Now, all I need is a mass outbreak of insanity to spawn a horde of new risk-takers ready to live life from the most radical POV - over the top of reality.\u00a0 Trust me, folks, the view from the top is good, but the view from over the top is better.<\/p>\n

And each sale brings me one\u00a0step closer to pushing\u00a0that button too.\u00a0 In the meantime, pop over to Joe's place and give Jude's post a read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
