As a new novelist, it's nice to know what to expect on the publishing journey, but also comforting to know that every writer has their own path, and there are many right ways to write a book.Ghenet Myrthilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621168379560585094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-46310808285771079562011-12-02T16:48:07.314-08:002011-12-02T16:48:07.314-08:00"Writers are readers"

I couldn't handle that - I like it too much for one thing. For another, I love finding out what's new! :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-68021871490273243142011-12-01T17:09:43.581-08:002011-12-01T17:09:43.581-08:00Excellent post.

I couldn't agree more that social media isn't for everyone. The important thing is to do what we're passionate about and leave the other stuff for someone else.

This troubles me, because I love chocolate but if I eat it while I'm writing it makes me terribly sleepy.<br />Happy Thursday!Kristen Wixtedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06270464973842125576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-73605298635766409162011-12-01T10:59:35.007-08:002011-12-01T10:59:35.007-08:00I can't agree more with having good social med...I can't agree more with having good social media manners. One of my constants is that I need a full mug of coffee and some music to write, otherwise I'm useless. With my last manuscript it took a while to figure out my process (def a pantser), but now that I know that all my dialogue comes to me first, and I write in a non-chronological way, I HOPE my WIP will go a little easier. Maybe I should add that another constant, at least for me, is that nothing goes as planned!Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07258263307771178398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6734108232999147338.post-82488203889273331382011-12-01T10:43:40.480-08:002011-12-01T10:43:40.480-08:00I agree with Julie.

My process with this year's NaNo novel was completely different than for any other manuscript I've written. I think it's good to shake things up sometimes.

If we want to be taken seriously then we must act accordingly. Now, that's not saying we need to be sticks-in-the-mud and be all serious. Boring. We need to be who we are and share what's important to us through our writing, but all with being respectful to our craft, each other, and the publishing world.S.A.
