But one never knows for sure... Other people could just as easily have come up with the same idea. Either way, it's OK now with me. I never set out to be a "famous author of beading books." I just want a way to share some of the things I know and or that they get shared somehow. Does that make any sense?Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06700778413231259614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-79707034420814299592012-03-01T17:55:05.977-08:002012-03-01T17:55:05.977-08:00Robin you do yourself a disservice thinking your s...Robin you do yourself a disservice thinking your self published book wasn't as 'slick' as the big publishing house stuff - it's an awesome book! It's just as clear and beautiful as any 'pro' book, IMO. Many thanks for making it available :)<br /><br />I'm rather taken aback at this: "...those two ideas grew into books published by Interweave, but written by other authors". HUH??? So Interweave basically STOLE your proposal ideas. Seriously? If that's the case, that's disgusting of them. <br /><br />Anyway, congrats on your success with the books! Glad that it has all worked out well in the end :)magicmoonmusingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255246775296758927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-3591366609897689542012-03-01T17:33:00.656-08:002012-03-01T17:33:00.656-08:00Hey!!

I didn't realize you were posting again so what a pleasant surprise to see ALL of these fabulous posts telling us your story! <br /><br />The book experience sounds fantastic. And your latest bjp is wonderful. I have gotten to know Christy through you and I just think she's fabulous. I thoroughly enjoy her blog, her thoughts and her photography.<br /><br />Selfishly, I'm squealing with delight that you've made it over the mountain and can play again!!Susan Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094024834053351944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28049265.post-25069814656623228132012-03-01T16:09:31.907-08:002012-03-01T16:09:31.907-08:00That is the book that started my obsession with be...That is the book that started my obsession with bead embroidery.

I also have your book with Amy Clark and I must say I chortled at the thought of you taking on Interweave about the "lame" cover which stands out on the shelf! I can hardly wait to get my hands on the next brilliant instalment.

I love meeting people who are as excited about beads as I am. <br /><br />This was a really interesting post to read -- you've brought up some good points about the benefits of traditional publishing!Sarah Sequinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08221653054315631804noreply@blogger.com
