]]> Comment on Changing Expectations by Evandro http://loconeal.com/2012/03/27/changing-expectations/#comment-406 Tue, 22 May 2012 22:30:10 +0000 http://loconeal.com/?p=1622#comment-406 Unless you have some serious ctenncoions in the world of people promoting books I guess it’s a dead end. Paper books is a slow and painfully going to grave with all the ebook readers taking over the market. Of course, paper books will be around for quite some time, but it’s faster and cheaper to publish electronically. Unless you’ve got some crazy idea under the rug that you plan to pull I suggest try something else.

Anything I post would certainly only be additions to the fine list. And, of course, there are many, as I’ve said. So let’s start at the beginning.
An author friend of mine called on night and said, “I want to do this novel that I’m halfway through but I’m kind of stuck on how to make it better.”
I said, “Well, I don’t know anything about your novel, but I suggest you cut the first chapter and give the main character some serious personal baggage that will take him the whole novel to resolve.”
“No, no, that will never work.”
“Sure it will. Think about it for a second.”
“Oh, come-on. How could you possibly know that would make it better? You don’t even know what I’ve written so far.”
“Shoot, buddy, you’re right. I don’t know anything about your story, but I’m just telling you based on 99% of everything else I’ve ever read.”
“You know,” he said, “come to think on it, you’re right. Shoot. That’s weird. I bet that would work.”

That’s a true story. And, food for thought.

]]> Comment on Thoughts from a first-time slush reader by Lizbeth http://loconeal.com/2011/06/20/thoughts-from-a-first-time-slush-reader/#comment-404 Tue, 22 May 2012 17:28:39 +0000 http://loconeal.com/?p=937#comment-404 ummm I’ve only published a few short steoris ‘ but they’d have no bar of it. I think I prefaced my short talk with the fact that this was how I’d come to writing, and this was what worked for me. Everyone had to find what worked for them.But I guess that’s what it is. Everyone likes to hear how writers do what they do. It’s partly the whole thing that published writers obviously have the secret’ and we might be able to glean hints at that secret. The truth, however, is rather more mundane.It might feel strange, but bask in it all the same! It’s well deserved attention, despite what you might think

That’s a pretty comprehensive list. Any one of those points could be expanded into a full article, some of them even a book.
