  3. Thank you all. This was great. Good luck with all your writing. #litchat 2:05 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  4. Carolyn, that was the most fun I've had in a very long time. Thanks for the opportunity. Sadly, I have to run. #litchat 2:04 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  5. Thanks for the advice. A review copy is on the way! #litchat 2:03 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  6. Reviews might not be right or wrong but the New York Times sells books. Actually, a bad NYT review is better than none. #litchat 2:02 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  7. Simple: That just can't happen if there are too many POV's, too many voices driving the story. #litchat 2:00 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  8. Simple: The novel depends on the narrative transfer. The reader has to identify with the protagonist. #litchat 2:00 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  9. Simple: I thing we all want to put a little of every good book we've ever read into our work. #litchat 1:59 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  10. I think, having done it myself, the main problem of debut novelists is that they try to do too much. #litchat 1:57 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  11. Advice: Write as well and as simply as you can and when you've got it right, market the hell out of it. #litchat 1:57 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  12. ALC: If one agent want a full, others will, and it's because the book is a good one. Chill. #litchat 1:56 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  13. i suppose that's why so many authors refuse to read reviews. #litchat 1:54 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  14. Actually, I'm blessed that I've had excellent reviews. I don't know how I'd take something scathing. #litchat 1:54 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  15. ALC: Hope! Getting someone to read a full is a big, big deal. It's a big commitment on their part. #litchat 1:51 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  16. But even being severely dissed is better than those awful "not for us right now" notes. #litchat 1:50 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  17. Maybe there's always someone who doesn't like your book, but do they really have to tell you? #litchat 1:48 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  18. ALC: How nice for you. Have a great agent is one of the good things in life. It really is. #litchat 1:47 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  19. Hi Liza. So good to see you here. #litchat 1:46 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
  20. Criticism: the other day the owner of a bookshop I wanted to do a signing at told me my book was the worst mystery ever. #litchat 1:45 PM Jul 2nd, 2010 via TweetChat
