A small excerpt from a blog Ringo did years ago:
Quote:
Due to Ghost locking me up, I had no "turn-in" checks for months. And I wasn't contracting for anything. Fortunately, I'd turned in three books at the beginning. But by summer I was financially getting a bit strapped.
Finally, I gave up and wrote it, firmly intending to never publish it. I thought it was as bad as any review on the site. (I've changed my mind, but that was after rereading it.)
However, when I was first writing on it I was complaining about it on Baen's Bar. People there wanted to see what my "c**p" writing looked like. I posted the first three thousand words and the response was...enthusiastic.
