Writer's Fallout Shelter

Congrats on your YA novel! There's nothing quite like reaching THE END, and seeing the work in the hands of a reader. I've written technical "how-tos" and other procedurals for law enforcement and military personal for years, and I still get a charge out of seeing a manual in an academy or classroom. Writing novels is a different kind of rush, but still a rush. :)

As for the "Published or not", that's something of a subjective tag, and we're probably going to edge into the Wasteland on this issue. Some folk will have published on e-zines, POD sites, self-publishing sites, vanity, or subsidy presses. And inevitably, someone will comment that such efforts aren't "published". Rather, they're "printed".

Others will agrue that mass distribution of any work qualifies as "published." So, before a debate ensues, please keep in mind that while we may not all agree on the definitions, we'll repsect all opinions.

So, how about it, authors? Feel free to plug articles, columns, shorts, and novels.

Have you ever been caught hiding bodies in your closet? No? Good place, uh?
