The best of both worlds is a meeting of the minds where you and the publisher can really share ideas. I was pleased and amazed to experience that with my publisher -- I learned a lot!Laura@OutnumberedMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764574855540659528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6366860579038899381.post-72533797951442461152010-12-03T23:36:22.318-05:002010-12-03T23:36:22.318-05:00I can't imagine the pressure would be the same...I can't imagine the pressure would be the same once you're published....I would think it would relate to the film industry...do you think Ralph has more say creatively when we take a project to a studio or do you think I would?
