Thanks for all the kind words.<BR/><BR/>Shelley, I don't believe I've ever addressed anything like that here on NRJW, but I do know of one editor who was very interested in the blog of a writer friend of mine and who then bought a romance novel from her.<BR/><BR/>Yes, Bella, lurker is a word.<BR/>;-)<BR/><BR/>Deb, that's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard a publishing professional say. Would she really have rejected Nicholas Sparks' <I>The Notebook</I>?Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-37276283261855643212007-10-19T14:38:00.000-04:002007-10-19T14:38:00.000-04:00I met a woman from a New York publishing house who...I met a woman from a New York publishing house who said she really didn't want to see an author's first book, nor the second. What she wanted to see was the author's third book. By that time, she explained, an author has proven he or she can complete a work and learned the ropes of writing. <BR/><BR/>I love your blog. Keep on keeping on with the wit, wisdom, and humor.

At least I think that' what it said...something to that effect anyway.Shelley L.

I'd like to refer you to this page,<BR/><BR/>http://brendacoulter.com/BrendaCoulterDiary.htm<BR/><BR/>where you can read all about an extraordinary woman who sold her first-try-ever novel to a major publishing house. That doesn't happen very often.<BR/><BR/>So, you see? You're not normal...er, I meant that in the nice way. ;-)Shaunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18168454800095568360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-65053370520561707722007-10-17T18:41:00.000-04:002007-10-17T18:41:00.000-04:00*snort*And here I was, all proud I hit 1,000 posts...*snort*<BR/><BR/>And here I was, all proud I hit 1,000 posts the other day.<BR/><BR/>Looks like I've got a LONG way to go!<BR/><BR/>:-)Marianne Arkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934613403368823760noreply@blogger.com
