Never assume your first book won't sell but remember to be ready to go with a second.

This quality drives my husband crazy . . .<br /><br />Just a few things: I ordered Chabon's book. I love the movie Rushmore. Characterization is one of the most important aspects of a book for me. I was appalled by how much I understood of the Dr. Who talk (you pick it up by osmosis in the UK). Dave Grohl and I are both Capricorns. I had to Google his birth date . . . like I don't have hundreds of blogs to read and emails to respond to.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-14994164025423635202010-03-11T15:04:55.169-05:002010-03-11T15:04:55.169-05:00I have never seen an episode of Dr. Who, so why th...I have never seen an episode of Dr. Who, so why the hell would I read your book?

Then I start reading your blog and today of all days when I'm feeling blue and wondering what the point of it all is and am frustrated with myself for not writing in weeks, I come and read this profoundly wise and moving post where you mention an author (Chabon) that I keep meaning to read, talk about one of my favorite TV shows and mention that we adore the very same Doctor and have the same favorite companion (poor Donna!) and then you mention one of my favorite movies of all time.<br /><br />I don't know what it means, but it must mean something.<br /><br />I do know this...you are a terrific writer and I'm so glad you're writing your book and I cannot wait to read it!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02994053521689652049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-88559224966017168402010-03-11T14:21:20.390-05:002010-03-11T14:21:20.390-05:00Then again you'll probably wake up tomorrow an...Then again you'll probably wake up tomorrow and find you're a card dealer in Vegas, twice divorced and fond of green drinks sporting small umbrellas.
