People have asked me if I’d do another anthology, after seeing how much work it is.
The answer is YES!
I don’t pretend it’s not work or that I like messing up and having 20 people call me on it, but like anything else, it’s a learning curve and I expect to get better each time.
because I knew what to expect – and how to pace myself. The next one, probably in November (maybe sooner) will be even easier as I continue to build the muscles needed to do the lifting.
Same with the anthology.
I had almost no idea what to expect when I decided to do this. In truth, some things I thought would be easy turned out to be hard, and some things that I thought would be really difficult – like formatting the paperback – were really easy. (Thanks again, Jenifer!)
This anthology stuff will get smoother with each one we do, too, and it’s been a lot of fun learning how to coordinate this, taking people’s stories and turning them into a book, and helping a few people become published authors for the first time.
I really can’t wait until we start the next one! (But I will. Because I’m kinda exhausted.) More of you will get published for the first time, with some bestselling authors! Where else can you get a deal like that?

Writing one piece for an anthology is difficult, Dan, so putting the whole thing together must be pretty tough. You have done really well and I congratulate you.

I should list myself under The Brag Of The Week.
Reblogged this on anita dawes and jaye marie.
Thank you!
Well done you, Dan. And you do have the bragging rights, what you have just done was brilliant but very difficult!
The people who get this book are really going to love it. There are so many good stories in it.
There are so many good ones, it’s actually hard for me to pick a favorite. I like all of them for different reasons. Even Eric’s!
