Carrie Vaughn has an interesting post on how she got published and all the work none of us see when she wrote four previous novels and fifteen years?
I always like reading about this.

It's off-topic. I wanted you to know about an author you haven't mentioned at all on your site: David Gemmell. It's a discovery I’ve just made and I’m sure I will read many of his books. You wrote in Nine Author Discoveries in 2007 that you like discovering great new authors and that one of them was Glen Cook. I made similar discovery about Glen Cook in late 2006 and I love his books. Besides all Black Company books I’ve read “Tower of fear” (fantasy) and “Dragon never sleeps” (science fiction). These 2 books are stand alone novels that in some way are even better than Black Company books. Returning to David Gemmel: I’ll start with his first book “Legend”, which apparently is itself a legend among his fans.
I've heard of Gemmell and Legend, but haven't read anything by him. I may have to put him / it on my list and try to read him in 2008. Thanks for the recommendation
