I haven't actually written it, but I have tried it in my head, and it works. :-))Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-90726765345759837052010-03-23T03:26:25.974+00:002010-03-23T03:26:25.974+00:00Oh write reviews of your book.

Welp, right now it would only be bad ones, cause I can't think of any good ones... *sigh* it will come ;o)<br /><br />Sounds like a good read though!erica m. chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14773306703153110737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-91685706624989577782010-03-22T22:53:52.136+00:002010-03-22T22:53:52.136+00:00Jamie,

Of course - both is the best deal. But it's a question of which one is the driving motive.Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8828727132315088852.post-6253982410405772332010-03-22T22:35:43.602+00:002010-03-22T22:35:43.602+00:00Interesting. One of the suggestions in the course ...Interesting. One of the suggestions in the course I'm taking is to write a bad review of your own novel, then go through and *fix* the things that you reviewed negatively. I thought that was a productive way to view neg. reviews - see if there's anything in them you could use for next time. I'm not too terribly bothered at what people think of me though, so while I'm sure neg. reviews will bother me a bit, I'm equally sure I can keep my mouth shut and move along. <br /><br />As for generic standards vs. uniquely mine - I'll take both, please. :-) I'm perfectly happy to write genre fiction - it's what I love to read *because* of those generic standards. But I want my books to have my unique voice within those standards too.Jamie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05486427517423813962noreply@blogger.com
