Become One of my Fifty

It takes a tribe of ten thousand fans to make a viable career in writing.

As I approach the publishing industry with a heart for writing stories and dreams of getting them to readers, ten thousand sounds like an awfully big number.  In fact, it sounded impossible the first time I heard it, and I took my fear of it to God.  "Is this really what You want me to do?  How can I reach ten thousand people?"

I'm coming to learn that I'm not going to reach anyone, that's God's job, but back in March when He and I had this talk, He gave me a new number.  "What about fifty?"

Will you be one of my first fifty?

I release a quarterly newsletter called The Breakfast Table in which I update my first fifty fans on my writing career: my degree, my journey into the realms of Publishing, and the ways in which I'm continuing to grow as a writer by God's grace.  There are also little bonuses: as one of my fifty, you get to be among the first to hear about things like website launches and book releases when the time comes, and some issues contain shorter pieces I've written of various genres.  As one of my fifty, you get sneak peeks on both sides of a new writer's life.

I can't do this without you.  I can't live this dream of writing if I have no one to read it.  If you're willing to help me out, if you want to see what the life of a writer is like, send an email to kaycee_pancake@yahoo.com.  Put "One of my Fifty" in the subject line  and let me know that you want in on the adventure.

I promise, it'll be a wild ride!
