Hi, I love your blog, so it was a treat to comment. I think that days when you are stuck in the galeforse of guilt, having good hair is a way to hold on to the shreds of sanity.

Perry, Thanks for the comment on my blog post. I see you are pulled in many directions, too. I’m sure you truly feel the winds of guilt as I do. I guess they are going to blow no matter what we do. The main thing is that we don’t let them mess up our hair.

Glad I found you. I’ve enjoyed perusing your blog.

Comment on Writing a series by mokie

“In a series it’s normally not a good idea to branch out to different audiences – I can’t think of one instance where this has worked commercially.”

Laurell K. Hamilton, perhaps–she branched out and hit a rising trend in the romance genre. Though she argued it was just character growth, fans and marketers called it a genre shift from fantasy/mystery to paranormal romance, and that’s the downside, too. The move was commercially successful not because she added to her old audience but because she replaced it with a much larger one, jettisoning (and embittering) SF/fantasy readers who weren’t interested in reading a romance series; there’s still a nasty rift, between fans who don’t get the old books and fans who don’t like the new books.

Comment on iPad reviews – had enough? by Moira Young

I’m staying well away from e-readers as a rule, for now. I’d rather wait and see how things go. And then, when I do get something (because I know I will eventually), it’ll be when my cell phone is up for renewal.

Comment on Introducing Perry Wilson, Managing editor by Perry

Hi, Jamie. She should start by deciding what each book will be about and then just write. The biggest challenge is getting the first draft on the page. When that’s done, she can edit and polish.

Perry! My Girlfriend, a secondary school teacher (english), ESL teacher, etc. wants to write small books for Adult-learning ESL students. Where does she start?

Comment on Submit your best by Perry

Perry — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 18:35:39 +0000

Hi, Mick, when preparing a book for e-publishing we need to strip the formatting so it’s not that important for your submission – we won’t turn down a book because it’s submitted in block paragraphs. That said, we’re trying to figure out why our blog doesn’t indent and put a space between paragraphs because we don’t like the way it looks and we don’t think it’s all that readable.

Thanks for you comment.
