Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

Signed–the Finance Director at a small-ish imprint where everyone gets along and respects each other.

People are always going to be the key factor in deciding what hits the shelves and what does not. Personal opinion and reading taste, personality clashes in the office and market forces are the true determining factors.Talent is rarely considered in my opinion as there are tons of poor writing on bookshelves. This just gives me another reason to self publish.

I read this post with an almost morbid curiosity, but kinda wish I didn't know (a great post, nonetheless. funny too). ! I'm going to go back to focusing on improving the book, trusting my agent.. .and the rest? Well it sounds like it depends on whether or not the moon (and economy) is in retrograde that week. again, eek! 🙂

They probably would have thumbed their noses at anything to do with bullfighting. Although "Death in the Afternoon" isn't exactly my favorite Hemingway story. I prefer clean, well-lighted places!

You write the book of your heart, because that will have your own unique spin on it. You write it as well as you can. You sign with an agent who believes in you (writing and potential).

Once you've subbed it to your agent, it's out of your hands. You trust God to direct your life (incl'g your agent and the pub board) and you begin your next project.

I had no idea what friends meant when they said it was going to pub board, so thank you Rachelle.
