The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Yes, it was my honest
desire to get those authors on the A-list.

I did help one of my clients, in the long run. As I mentioned, my
promotional efforts resulted in a two page spread. We were able to
translate the whole thing into her first novel sale, and she moved on
into a respectable career.

My thing was I took only unpublished authors. I was a bit of a
Quixotic.

One thing I have always hated to hear is "it can't be done."

You can't write a novel.

You can't finish high school and be the first Jackson to graduate. (I
left home 2 months before graduating in order to be away from *that*
attitude, and graduated in the top 5% or so of my graduating year.)

You can't be an agent.

You can't be a computer programmer. (Told to me by the gov't sponsored
work program people.)

You can't be a professor with unaccredited degrees. (Right!)

You can't. You can't.

If it wasn't for things that I cannot do -- I'd never have done a damn
thing in my life!
