3. "RE: Roads Not Taken"
In response to message #0
 
   "If anyone out there has wondered why I haven't written an Actual Book at any point, well... I have given it a try. Might be worth revisiting one of these days..."

I think you should revisit it. I know you have a ton of things on the back burner, the front burner, and possibly a few sitting in a mental slow cooker (okay, I may be stretching the metaphor too far), but I would rather have you write something that I could pay for.

As far as your point about similarities to Eberron go, that is something that could be fixed later on. People have been paid for stories set in other worlds which had the serial numbers filed off, after all. (Mercedes Lackey has a chapter in of one of her books which started as a short story for an anthology, just to name one example.)

In any case, writing an Actual Book isn't necessarily easy. Some authors take years from idea to sale. I remember one author saying something like, "I started this book, realized I wasn't good enough to make it work, and shelved it. I looked at every so often, and put it back on the shelf. Finally, one day, I picked it off the shelf and finished it."

Incidentally, this is one place where I disagree with Yoda. "Try" is a thing. It is the thing that makes "Do" possible.
