(blushing) To be perfectly honest about the courage thing, I was very intimidated for a long time (for various reasons) and didn't want to rock any boats by coming out and sharing what I'd been dumb enough to allow to happen. It's embarrassing and when an organization throws about legal mumbo jumbo, whether it's a giant crock of shit or not, one tends to step back a bit and weigh her options. Is it worth helping another author at my own expense? The answer is yes.Renee Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14142341397085289166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7109148405669867264.post-79324827188529449772011-08-28T03:40:32.917-07:002011-08-28T03:40:32.917-07:00Part of what makes a good writer is courage, and t...Part of what makes a good writer is courage, and the ability to face mistakes head on and learn from them.

I hope that it helps one writer make better decisions. <br /><br />@Paul: You're right, I shouldn't have generalized. ;) MOST writers, not all, are easy prey for predators. Some of us have either learned, or entered into this game with eyes wide open. Man, I wish I'd been one of those.<br /><br />ETA: Sorry, I had to delete the comment before because I'm a knob who clearly hasn't had enough coffee to construct a readable sentence.
