I was hoping to discuss the earning potential of novels. I can't seem to find any accurate information on the subject.
I would be interested to see averages and tiers.

whew, that was a *way* more interesting blog than the one I was expecting. About new and unusual earrings. :P

LOL

Thanks for the link - interesting stuff! About what I expected (short summary of the blog as I interpret it: $5k is about what can be expected for a first novel, the first novel you ever write won't necessarily sell but a subsequent one might, and getting an agent is absolutely worth it.)
