OK Not to Earn Money

Word Challenge:  GALLIMAUFRY--I hope my blogs don't seem like this! (see end of post for definition)

Jules Renard said: "Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money."

This is a comforting thought as I try to wait patiently to hear from queries about proposed new books. The wait time seems to grow longer each year, and while we authors wait, we make no money. So, thank you, Jules Renard, for the assurance that continuing to write is not ridiculous.

Martin De Leon research fact for today: When the Karankawa Indians painted their bodies red, they were ready to go on the warpath!

"Gallimaufry" means a jumble, a hodgepodge
