I watched a video about Lola Jaye getting her book published on You Tube the other day and she mentioned about how she'd written two books and got nowhere and then thought, "Sod it, I'm going to write the book I'd want to read" and the book flowed out of her and got her signed and then published. <BR/><BR/>So I started to think about how I'm struggling with book 2 right now and how book 3 is really calling me. And I'm trying to work out what to do next...CL Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650291635298634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7635396742633632585.post-11382637201166568392008-07-04T16:22:00.000+01:002008-07-04T16:22:00.000+01:00You're SO right about everything crashing down as ...You're SO right about everything crashing down as soon as you start devoting time to writing, but equally right that it's the only way to get published. (I've searched high and low for a magic formula and there isn't one. Tut.)<BR/><BR/>My word of the moment seems to be PANIC (half another year gone and still no sign of a finished manuscript) but I'm going to change it to PERSEVERE right now :o)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.com
