I suspect in this industry, the way it is now, we’ll constantly be doing that…

Thanks. I think I just needed to grieve a bit. But I’m not giving up, just doing some deep thinking and reorienting myself.

This is the most terrifying thing about going into this career. It happens to really good authors. Sometimes things don’t sell to the targets that publishers want, and they withdraw support.

It happens, even to really good authors and really good books.

But I’ve also seen authors reinvent themselves before, and start up again when others think they’re down.

So don’t let it get to you! You’re too good for that ;o)

Ah, it’s OK. I suspect you’re wanting something new from Romance, and romance is really more about reassuring predictability than novelty. Sorry…

A little late here, as always- I do agree that the mother crowed a bit too much- as if her son understood that she was right, instead of having been brow-beaten down.

I don’t get your regard for Nightingale.
The “Agony and the Ecstasy” by Irving Stone was the pinnacle of that feeling for me- I stayed up till 3 a.m. one morning years ago to finiash it because I couldn’t put it down, and then I couldn’t sleep- I had to call a friend in the middle of the night (a very good friend)to express some of what I was feeling.

Only metaphorically.

So you’re saying that all art needs to have the vague taste of animal protein? I’m all for that.
