Joe Konrath HAS changed my life.

I was thinking about this just today. He didn't do it by himself. I hadn't heard of him in October when I started a push to get my mystery writing career back in gear. I started a blog that was to act as a continuous "novel dare" to keep me on track, and I have to give some credit to that for my pretty continuous contentment ever since.

But Konrath supercharged me. Because no matter what - no matter if I succeed well or not - everything I write now has a purpose. With traditional publishing, you were supposed to write the first book of a series only, until you hit the one that a publisher is interested in, and then you abandon everything else and hope sometime to get back to it.

Now I can actually write more and better because I don't have to worry about prioritizing what I do - except where I want to follow up a success.

I've barely slept since I discovered his blog in March.
