>this is a marathon, not a sprint
I have been using this analogy for a long time, in part because I started writing my (first) novel while training for my (only) marathon :-)
So actually, for me, writing a novel is easier than a marathon, as I am willing to do it again and again.
It's definitely true for marketing too.

Wow, great interview Niki, I'm glad you address the commercialism about publishing, you are so right on about the trends, sadly. I'm also impressed about your publishing agency
I just downloaded your book, and did get it through the indie store- great idea. I was struck by the fact it's in little old Athens, GA, - my niece lives there.
I only just started the book but I love the intro about fugue, strangely enough I was just thinking about that pattern, ( read about it in Godel, Esher and Bach, by Hofstadter) and how to apply it to writing. I love the music, arts reference too. I'm an artist ( paintings, drawings) and plan to write with the thinking process of painting. Anyway, your book has an aesthetic to it from the beginning that adds a classic quality, it's beautiful
Also lots of good stuff on your blogs, etc.
