I have a guest post on Anne Bradshaw's blog.  Anne is the author of "Famous Family Nights", among other things.  Thanks to Anne for posting this.  The topic is "Five Things Every Aspiring Author Should Know", drawn from my experience of recently making the jump from "aspiring" to "published.  I hope you enjoy!
