- I wrote a novel, represented by Sheil Land. One publisher thought it was "compelling, but it wouldn’t be easy to categorize – it is somewhere between ‘literary’ and ‘commercial’, and would need to be one or the other to be pitched for successfully in an acquisition meeting." Another said, 'It’s pacy and gripping, and the plot is great, but it lacks that lighter women’s fiction feeling. The writing is undeniably good but I’m not quite sure how I would position it on our list.'A third commented that it "is a warm, engaging and easy read but this ‘middle market fiction’ is a really tough area', while a fourth considered that, "It is a good story (stories) well told, but just missing the X-factor that would make me fall in love with it." I wanted to write an entertaining novel that I would like when I was in the mood for something thoughtful & amusing that I could enjoy without too much effort.

I just received an round robin email from a former colleague (now enemy) with a quantity of jargon far beyond parody. Names have been removed to protect the idiot:
ReplyDeleteXXX headed off last month on a UKTI sponsored trip to Boston & Silicon Valley with 12 other UK cloud computing MDs to visit Citrix, EMC, Google, IBM and Salesforce; all packed around power breakfasts and networking events with US vendors, advisers and investors. I was lucky enough to get selected for the WebMission trip last year to San Francisco, when I met a gang of UK web businesses and came back buzzed-up about the opportunities around Web 2.0, so I'm delighted that XXX had the opportunity to join this cloud gig.
Vomit, vomit, vomit (I especially hate 'lucky enough' - or is 'buzzed-up' worse? No, it's that fake modest 'lucky enough' that is completely and utterly emetic)
