The artist has managed to be published three times by Anik Press. Meanwhile, the writer has submitted her story billions of times and has yet to be published, even thought the second book is almost finished [it's a long wait while editors read your first work, I guess :)]. It *seems* that the artist was published much more quickly than the writer, so I would ask -- is this generally true? I haven't read any of the writer's work yet [she won't let me until it's published :)] so I can't comment on the relative quality of the two of them -- besides, I value my life! And how would you compare visual art with written art? Still rambling.. Reid
