Let's just hope she doesn't spend too much time struggling with a genre she despises for an audience she can't empathize with before she understands.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00456068019298922261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-70352340137450091822010-05-31T08:17:25.680-04:002010-05-31T08:17:25.680-04:00Writing in any genre is hard!Writing in any genre is hard!Nayuleskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08693548526829437580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-60229004642678622932010-05-25T13:03:54.965-04:002010-05-25T13:03:54.965-04:00Amy - Cousin X has to write the book first.

But I may lose and buy Ann a milkshake. <br /><br />Jean - I will!<br /><br />Inky - Sorry, I'll put a warning up next time.<br /><br />Beth - Tell them you'll sell your secret for $20.

A cousin, co-worker, or friend at church has divulged to me they want to be a writer, and they want to know the "secret to my success."<br /><br />"I wrote for ten years without getting a thing published or earning a penny, and I held down a real job in the mean time," I say. "I'm only quitting now because, after writing ten novels, I finally wrote one that worked."<br /><br />"Oh," they laugh. "I wouldn't want to do it that way. I'll just self-publish when I finish. It can't be that hard to earn money from it."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11431700962951592287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5329782430566577328.post-57129090301307371382010-05-25T00:53:30.764-04:002010-05-25T00:53:30.764-04:00Oh.

Wish I could be a fly on the wall. <br /><br />Sadly, though, her submittals will take up precious, valuable time of editors...which explains the prevalence of the 'no response unless interested' policy.
