That agent/publisher thing threw me a little when I read it, but yes I would like to think they would prefer to have someone on their list who cares about making a story as good as it gets. And that is what we all are doing - so let's carry on the good work! There's definitely something to be said for a good whinge now and again. Clears the cobwebs! :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-69640665800274355072009-09-06T15:14:49.399+01:002009-09-06T15:14:49.399+01:00Hi Cat!

And I do love reading how other people come to write their stories - it's encouraging, inspiring, fascinating, and keeps me sitting here tap-tap-tapping away. :)Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-3505264324403379482009-09-05T12:50:37.636+01:002009-09-05T12:50:37.636+01:00I regularly whinge on my blog about how hard it is...I regularly whinge on my blog about how hard it is to edit the damn thing once it's written. I flipping well enjoy a good whinge, too!<br /><br />When others say the same thing I know I'm not alone... so PLEASE don't only write when you're feeling perky and shiny and having good days!<br /><br />As far as an agent/publisher seeing someone who is insecure, I like to think of it (wrongly, perhaps, but I'm the eternal optimist) as them seeing someone who is conscientious and who strives to get things right.<br /><br />:0)Kit Courteneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07211606676705095432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-26345075168061570352009-09-04T07:35:23.083+01:002009-09-04T07:35:23.083+01:00I whinge about how hard writing is all the time!

I'm not sure if they're the right colours so I may change them in the near future.<br />I think, yes, the story of writing your story is very fascinating with many insights.Law and Orderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833525664073965207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-22801216786594082082009-08-28T09:35:36.650+01:002009-08-28T09:35:36.650+01:00Yes, I agree.

I do wonder about some blogs I stumble across that publically slate agents or publishers, to me that doesn't seem very professional, or that promising for the future! ;)<br /><br />I like sharing my thoughts about writing - good or bad - as I enjoy the progression that's been made. I think the story of writing it - the beginning to the end (I live in hope!), is just as interesting in its own way as the novel! I am always fascinated about how other people write, where they write, what they write about... endless source of interest. And I like the new colours on your blog by the way - very nice!Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11309191526500602452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3507901142971459084.post-53168330584995029142009-08-28T08:50:16.710+01:002009-08-28T08:50:16.710+01:00Oh, interesting post.

We all go through the same pain and pleasure and blogging is a great place to share, motivate and inspire. It's a strange business this writing life. I think if you complain about publishers and editors, blogging is probably not the place to do it. :)Law and Orderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05833525664073965207noreply@blogger.com
