The difference between Fiction and Reality

 A dream come true

For many years, I asked myself, what would I do if I was offered a contract to write? It was a hyperthetical question, as I never imagined, in my wildest dreams the day would come.

The answer to my question, would I take a large sum, or a small sum has always been the smaller, for several reasons.

A writer's wage is an advance for sales of a book, as I am an unknown quantity to many readers, I am wary of being paid too much. Also, a small advance is quickly paid for.

I never imagined I would see the day I had an agent, but the day is here.
