Now I'm worried about the same things you are-- standing out in an over-saturated market. <br /><br />Good luck! I hope your story makes it through the market gauntlet. :)Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919558332911860559.post-74470493146937588622011-05-16T08:41:16.406-07:002011-05-16T08:41:16.406-07:00I read a while back that the next thing would be m...I read a while back that the next thing would be mermaids, but I haven't seen it yet.Aftonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241351509996548332noreply@blogger.com
