That and the fact that I knew that nobody was going to publish my work at Dark Horse or DC or anywhere.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I didn't care where my works were published.
I submitted manuscripts to publishers. This was not so much a feeling that I should be published as a wish to escape the feared and hated drudgery of normal work.
The hard fact is that not everyone does get published.
I never thought my ideas would actually get published.
Every famous writer was once an unknown writer. If publishers never published new writers, they wouldn't be publishing anyone at all after a while.
Everything I publish is for my readers.
I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.
As far as the world was concerned, from 1979 to 1996, I didn't publish any original material; it just wasn't there.
Publishing is not my world.
Once I decided to write, to be published, I knew it would happen.
