		<description><![CDATA[I recently read a book called &quot;How I made $42,000 in one month selling my Kindle e-books&quot; by Cheryl Kaye Tardif. It was a real eye opener for me and changed my way of thinking. 

I always considered the traditional route and agent, publisher, hard copy etc was the way to go and thus the only way to prove myself as a writer.

A week ago I published my first novel via Kindle Direct Publishing - it&#039;s out there and it&#039;s being read - that makes me a writer, not a publishing contract.

I have since read several examples of writers being discovered and offered publishing contracts based on their Kindle e-books. 

I am now doing whatever it takes to get my work out there and to enable me to learn and grow from the experience. Is my first book perfect - maybe not, but heck it&#039;s better than some of the traditional published rubbish I&#039;ve read.

Just saying it might be an option to consider :-)]]></description>

Good for you for hanging in with the writing. I&#039;ve been neglecting that too. Juggling acts just aren&#039;t my forte. ;-)
