...what would you do?
I mean, imagine your WIP is the next Hunger Games, or Twilight, or Harry Potter. You've hit the big time. What would you do with all that money? How would your life change? Would you start looking down on the "little people" who buy your book but don't have the talent to do their own?
Okay, the last was kidding... mostly. I doubt anyone sets out to adopt that kind of an attitude, but it does happen.
Me, I'd keep my basic lifestyle, with a few changes.
Your turn!

Me, I'd keep my basic lifestyle, with a few changes.
- I want to move to the Seattle area. There's three big sci-fi/fantasy cons there each year, and I know one of the guys that helps run one of them.
- I'd make sure I had a really nice computer to work on, and keep updating as the technology improves.
- I'd probably get a new car (my current one is an 05 so it's getting old). No Rolls Royce or Mercedes or Beemers for me, though, I think that sort of flashy car is proof that the driver has an ego the size of Alaska. I'm thinking Lexus SUV for my next car anyway, so probably one of those.
Your turn!
