Sugar-cube Empire

So guess what guess what I have an email, like an official you-can-mail-me@publisher.com email, and a blog and a Twitter.

I have my success fix for the week, which should be enough to stave off the looming cold sores and bring about some brutal glee-based insomnia, but I also read agent blogs obsessively enough to know that whilst being published by a legitimate house at all is a huge step, it is by no means the largest, especially considering that a blog and an email and a Twitter aren't investments for the publisher, and that the publisher is a startup, an indie, and not based in either the U.S. or Britain.

It feels like making an empire from toothpicks and sugar cubes.
