Congratulations on your acceptance. You are a dynamo. After reading your column on breaking all the rules, I too said, "I can do that, too." You have always been my inspiration.

I'll check them out if I can. :-)<br /><br />I own The Well-Fed Writer. It was one of the first books I purchased on the craft. I have since purchased a few more and am reading through them. Glad you enjoyed Peter Bowerman's book so much. I've thumbed through my copy, and look forward to digging in.<br /><br />Sounds like a beautiful vacation, btw--family, good music and movies, and chocolate.

And he has a book called The Well-Fed Self-Publisher, which describes the process he went through and the skills he learned while self-publishing those three very successful books. Peter also has a Well-Fed Writer blog, and he just started a Well-Fed Self-Publisher blog. I too have found him to be a class act—very generous with his time and knowledge, very approachable.<br /><br />Anyway, it sounds like you had a very relaxing-yet-productive vacation.
