PS. I love your writing. You have something special on it. Thank you for all articles and keep doing it.
Sorry for posting the question so late but it was 1.00 am in my country when you were live.

@Content Maven: Yep, from my experience you definitely can submit to more than one agent or publisher. If an agent is interested, you could sign with that agent who would probably then shop it around to different publishers herself.

Don’t worry if you were too late with your question. Just ask it anyway and I’ll make sure it’s recorded.

Maybe I can persuade Leo write a report with all these answers and more!

In the meantime…I reckon it would be great to have a newsletter at WTD. Then Leo could maybe answer some of your questions more in depth each month. What do you think?

Great forum–thank you!

But as I browsed the Q & A, I found all of them useful and informative.

Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you all for participating. I’ve enjoyed talking to you all, and it’s been a great reminder for me of all that I’ve learned and gone through as a blogger. You’re on an exciting journey, as am I, and I hope it’s as fun a ride for you as it is for me!

I hope to do this again sometime soon … maybe next month or the month after. It’s a great way to interact with all of you.

Thanks again!

“Leo – with your recent success you must have days where you feel sky high.. Apart from the tips found in great posts written on this subject, is there a way you stay so grounded/humble?! You seem to be so good at it! I’m always looking for ways to better myself and part of that is taking advice from those that have been there / done that….”

Well, I have to admit that things have definitely changed for me as a blogger … success brings amazing new opportunities but also some new challenges … bloggers who want me to link to them, authors who want me to review their books, websites that want me to be their partner, people who want to buy links within my posts (which I don’t do) … I’m not complaining, though, but just pointing out that I definitely have to change the way I operate to stay sane. I don’t get to answer comments as much as I used to — I used to respond to every single comment! Those days are long gone, sadly.

But as for staying grounded … I think the key for me is gratitude. I try to remind myself of all that I’m grateful for, including my wonderful, encouraging readers, my simple lifestyle made possible by a full-time blogging job, the ability to do what I’m passionate about for a living … these are amazing things and I’m truly grateful for all of them.

When you remember to be grateful, you also remember that any of it can be taken away by circumstances. So I try to remember all of that and not think that I’m invincible or anything.

I also remember that I’m not perfect, by a long shot. I try not to think I’m better than anyone else. If I’ve been successful as a blogger, there are dozens of bloggers who’ve actually done better than me … and for those below me in the blogging ladder, I remember what it was like to be on their rung. It’s a struggle, when you’re first starting out, and I know that. So I try to be kind to those who want to promote themselves on my blog, just as others were kind to me when I was in that position.

I think I’ll be experimenting with getting my blog started after finals are over.
