- 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 despair! I won't say any more in case I sound like a complete fascist.
ReplyDeleteIn the light of my first post on the subject, that would probably be for the best
DeleteAh, yes...

If a person decides to get a tattoo, it is pure insanity not to see and be satisfied with a copy of exactly how the image will look when complete – before impregnating the skin with something nearly impossible to remove – ever.
ReplyDeleteLeaving aside 'to tat or not to tat' the obvious mistake this girl made was to allow this guy to come to her house to do it, putting her in a position where she was feeling vulnerable and therefore with much less chance to reject it at any stage.
To misquote Red Gum, 'She was only sixteen'
