My writing is always short, fractured, the longest piece I've ever written was 40 pages. Novels seem to be beyond me.Owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15129478506301722194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-86283700094757499982011-06-20T16:59:38.648-04:002011-06-20T16:59:38.648-04:00Lark: And I hope to play your game someday!
John ...<b>Lark:</b> And I hope to play your game someday!<br /><br /><b>John T:</b> We here at PatCo appreciate your loyal patronage. I definitely want the novel to be available for download by the end of the year. Not sure how feasible a print version would be, but I can look into it.<br /><br /><b>Adam:</b> Bobbie Louise Hawkins said something like that, although her version of it differed: disliking something you read doesn't necessarily mean your skills have improved, but it usually means that your <i>tastes</i> have. This is often the first step toward producing better work.<br /><br /><b>Zukonub:</b> That's definitely a good idea, but I'm not sure I have that kind of readership. <i>This just in, today saw an upheaval in the publishing world as a newly-released self-published e-book sold TWENTY-THREE downloads on its first day! Scoop at eleven.</i><br /><br /><b>Marchel:</b> I appreciate the vote of confidence! Although it is a very thin line between "tenacious" and "too stupid to quit." Suppose it's hard to distinguish one from the other until the end result is known.Patrick Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410016566636603639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-5486042517140702332011-06-16T23:46:22.217-04:002011-06-16T23:46:22.217-04:00To me, the hardest part of writing is trusting tha...To me, the hardest part of writing is trusting that what you're writing is good. I get to points in the middle of any project where I just think, "This could be incredible or absolute shit. I've no idea." It's the part that has killed a lot of things I've tried to write. <br /><br />What I mean is that I admire your tenacity! Your work will be better for all of the revisions, I'm sure!Marchelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928935883883720334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-44180718520212859512011-06-14T09:16:13.287-04:002011-06-14T09:16:13.287-04:00You could try pulling a Machine of Death by tellin...You could try pulling a Machine of Death by telling all of your readers to buy the book on the same day, giving it some media attention.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8972120889629675714.post-70177906715786565722011-06-13T23:58:47.552-04:002011-06-13T23:58:47.552-04:00I was always told to be glad when I noticed how cr...I was always told to be glad when I noticed how crappy my old writing is. It's a sign that you've gotten better.
