Some other character flaw, I think. <br /><br />I met Sue Grafton at a party and she said the same thing about a book a year that LH did. But both those women have well established careers and can afford to do that. Those of us trying to get started don't have that luxury. Life or no life.<br /><br />And no, I've never heard the tale about the mud-stuck cow. Sounds interesting...Annie Solomonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439330900730765487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404696372103409860.post-10885353181744686292010-01-25T14:51:04.499-06:002010-01-25T14:51:04.499-06:00At least you have fans who are anxious for the nex...At least you have fans who are anxious for the next book.<br /><br />At a conference I heard Linda Howard say she only writes one book a year because she has a life. Fancy that. If you've never heard her tale about the cow who got stuck in the mudbank, you should.<br /><br />I wish my excuse for not writing fast was that my hands couldn't type fast. I'm a fast typist. But sometimes I get hung at a point in a story and don't know how I want to get from point B to point C. Sometimes I'm just lazy. Nora never has to worry about me releasing 10-12 books a year. Two is doable if I could find a publisher who wanted two books a year. Ah, there's the rub.Marie-Nicole Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704351418597214594noreply@blogger.com
