Doing it to someone on a professional level makes you look very unprofessional and fewer people are going to want to work with you.<br /><br />You can debate, like we're doing, without resorting to name calling and attempting to slander another person. ;-)Emily McKeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063427212767372372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101553575212625066.post-16509222411007017552012-05-10T07:18:13.694-04:002012-05-10T07:18:13.694-04:00Can you actually go through life without alienatin...Can you actually go through life without alienating anyone?<br /><br />Wouldn't that mean you would have to agree with everyone, love everyone, and not have a opinion of your own if it differed from everyone?Stephen Winterfloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486934562079110055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101553575212625066.post-42358696441290833752012-05-09T12:42:14.906-04:002012-05-09T12:42:14.906-04:00Depends on your personal take on it.

Down the road, I might decide to self-pub and would want guidance from someone who's been there.Emily McKeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063427212767372372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101553575212625066.post-34871336570164326582012-05-09T09:01:01.051-04:002012-05-09T09:01:01.051-04:00Wouldn't you be more focused on the writing if...Wouldn't you be more focused on the writing if you did do it all? If it is only you then you should be more careful on what you are outputting, rather than just handing it over to a publisher and expecting they are going to do a good job.Stephen Winterfloodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15486934562079110055noreply@blogger.com
