What we're doing is that I'm not just talking about writing and selling stories anymore (I'm a fiction writer who has traditionally sold 2-3 stories per year due to my tendency to work about 5-6 days per year on writing) but I've actually gotten myself in gear and I've been cranking them out and sending them out.  I've had good luck in the past selling, with my sales influenced about 85% by the effort I put into it (I can't necessarily sell 'em all, is what I'm saying - but I have at least an 85% success rate.)  Wish me luck this time around.  I have 5 out in the field waiting for acceptance or rejection right now with one already on a "possibility" list, according to the publisher.
