(((((Jax))))) I wish all our hugs and belief in you, take out the sting of the R..

I googled “macrame” and felt that, if that’s what is so enticing to you, go ahead ! I’m sure the characters will wink at you from nearby, enticing you and making you itch to get their story down on paper.. And at that moment, I say – get on the ride!

I’m not saying writing is easy or hard.. its tough to get published or not.. but remember that, when the time is right, everything will clink into place, no matter what !

And in spite of all what I said above, I’m hoping I’ll see your name on the books soon !

Yeah, venting is how I like to deal with it. Get it all out, wail, gnash the teeth etc. It does really help. In fact I’m feeling better already. 🙂 Thanks re my NV chapter. I’m glad you liked it. Who knows what the eds thought but I’m pretty happy with the response I got from readers. It made my year.

I say rage, vent, scream, vow to quit. Whatever you need to do to get all this negativity out of your system.

I thought your NV entry was fabulous – fast-paced with a sparkling voice. So, once you’re feeling better, I hope you rediscover your optimism and joy in writing. Best of luck.

But, I DO know what I like to read. (I’ve been doing that for decades!) I would buy your novels… and they’d have a permanent place on my keeper shelf. I’m just saying… 🙂

I was trying to say that most lines have strict guidelines. The ones I mentioned were (except for the snarky part about tattoos, *grin*)just NB guidelines (they say to save the humor for other lines b/c it takes away from tension, danger etc.) I just wanted to clarify in case anyone thought I was suggesting that there is no humor allowed in category no matter what line, and that they only take billionaire alpha males.
