Ideas Aren't Magical; The Only Tricky Part

Once You've Invested Hundreds Of Hours In Creating A Coherent Universe, Your Story's Grown To Around A Half-million Words And Can't Be Written As Anything Less Than A Trilogy.

I'm Not Constrained By Being A Genre Writer. Any Story I Can Imagine, I Can Cast As A Fantasy Novel And Probably Get It Published.

I Write Sets Of Books, But I've Also Written A Lot Of Orphans.

The Money Can Be Decent, But I Really Don't Recommend The Work-for-hire Route As An Entry Into Publishing. Too Many Things Can Go Wrong.
