It is more on inspiring. Sometimes, successful people are molded out of inspiration from their mentors and not primarily out of the facts they learned. Mentoring is not just about teaching.

I have no idea how to start or even find someone who can talk to me about it. I have some great ideas but when I sit down to start, my fingers sit idley on the keyboard and I think to myself, now what. Is there some site that will offer someone to talk back and forth with? Or should I just keep sitting here? Hi,

I think the publishing business has changed so radically that it is almost impossible to catch the eye of a large publishing house unless you are a super celebrity...Therefore our marketing efforts have to be enormous... and relentless. Devoting three hours a day to the pursuit of success is worth it. Carol..."For Kids 59.99 andOver" I just discovered your site here and find it most interesting.

Look at what Dave Eggars has accomplished here in San Francisco with McSweeney's, etc. Mentoring is ALWAYS mutually beneficial to writers, it seems to me. You said it very well. Tara–
