Topic Suggestion?
Posted by Lynnette on 19 Dec 2006 | Tagged as: Chit Chat
With the New Year less than two weeks away, I thought now might be a good time to start gathering topic suggestions for the month of January.
If you have a topic you’d like to see discussed in the HEA Cafe, please comment on this post. I’ll be posting the following months topics, and when they’ll be discussed, the week prior to the start of that month, to give our authors advance knowledge. This will give them an opportunity to set time aside to address those topics which speak to them or their knowledge/experience base.
And that’s probably as clear as mud. LOL
So, who has a question they’ve just been dying to ask?
~Blog Diva
Lynnette,
Here’s a broad one, but I think it’s of pretty strong interest: “How did you make your first sale?”
Most of us could probably write a whole book on this one! But I’d be curious to compare notes on things like: how many books the author completed before selling … how long it took that “winning” manuscript to go from submission to sale … whether there was an agent involved … and what, if anything, made the final difference in going from unpubbed to pubbed.
December 20th, 2006 at 8:53 amI’d like hear some about how published authors think they’ve changed their writing since being sold. Did you learn how to do something “better” based on the advice of an editor, for example?
December 20th, 2006 at 10:58 amI would like to know how everyone learned what they write. I’ve started stories in several genres (they’re very different) and can’t seem to pick one.
How do you all know which genre your voice is best suited for?
December 21st, 2006 at 12:53 pmI don’t have a question just yet, but just wanted to say that these are all just FABULOUS topics to talk about. Keep ‘em coming!
December 22nd, 2006 at 8:23 amAlways interested in:
1) Remember those spreads in Glamour about a dozen years ago where a celebrity would dump her purse out and let the world see what she carried around all day? Loved those– can we do a virtual purse-dumping? Or “writing bag?” When you truck off to Starbuck’s for a latte and window on life, what are you carrying around with you? Even a “what’s on your desk?” Or what’s in your top drawer? (I could go on—obviously!)
2) Another topic of interest remains favorite authors and favorite books. Not necessarily romance genre, either.
3) Best line/passage. Share one that’s gripped you and why you remember it.
4) The movie you won’t admit publicly to watching every time it comes on at 3:00am.
5) Best love scenes. Movie, book, real life—give it up!
December 25th, 2006 at 3:45 pmMy questions mostly stem around the actual writing. As a full time author do you spend 8 hours a day writing? What are you doing in that 8 hours, typing on a keyboard, researching, marketing, emailing, etc? If your truely writing for 8 hours, what is your word count, page count, chapter count?
How long does it take you to typically write a book? A couple of months, a year? If your taking say six months to write one book how long did it take you to write your first draft?
I work full time outside the home, and am looking to form a picture of what a full time writer does during their days, weeks, months. I know what I personally can get done in the time I have set aside to pursue my goals but don’t have a true picture of what “writing full time” will be like when I get there.
December 28th, 2006 at 7:25 pmI’d like to know how you discovered what your voice is, what is particular to your voice and if there are themes common in all your work.
