My apologies f...How nice of you to comment, Grace. <br />My apologies for not replying sooner. <br /><br />I have made an April resolution to be serious about blogging and LinkedIn and other social media. I find it hard to be a regular blogger or comment writer because I don't like being in this totally open-to-anyone -anywhere public type eye! I have so little time and I'm not naturally a flippant person who can toss of a few comments. I'm too serious! I simply can't see the point of wittering and twittering away. I'd rather say nothing than provide more trivia on the web. <br /><br />I am about to do my usual trick and upset a whole lot of people in my blogging this week. I would welcome your reading and comments as I am about to deal with this problem of what to do when you have done everything you should, you KNOW from experts your work is publishable and marketable yet the big publishers won't bite!p.d.r. lindsay the authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531238218297360461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074565605788586884.post-76958536453223459972012-03-31T09:16:29.440+13:002012-03-31T09:16:29.440+13:00Interesting post.

The smoke is beyond disgusting and ruins an otherwise perfect day. Maybe your neighbors will move soon. One can hope.<br /><br />I saw your comments on "Help I need a publisher" blog. I found them very interesting. I have written a memoir and am seeking publication. Of the gazillion agents I queried, I received several polite (but form) rejections and nothing at all from the majority. Of the small presses, a few nibbles but no bites yet. I've done everything Nicola Morgan stresses on her blog but still can't get a book deal. <br /><br />Reading your thoughts is so refreshing. The book publishing industry is subjective and a book one person loves is not necessarily one the next person will want to read. It gets tiring hearing about the trends and trying to fit into the square peg demanded of writers. I'm grateful for the opportunity to self-publish but still leery of the stigma. <br /><br />Anyway, I just wanted to compliment you on your comments. Have a great day.GRACE PETERSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520343332670354262noreply@blogger.com
