book mean people
It's like the query letter problem that I just mentioned, magnified a hundredfold. You might be good at telling a story, but that doesn't mean you know anything about marketing. Or layout. Or editing. Or publicity. Or selling your books for foreign markets.Everyone can point to a few examples of people that have done very well for themselves self-publishing. But honestly, those folks are lucky as lottery winners.
mean might nonsense
It might not be true, but that doesn't mean it's nonsense.
heart should-have done
I know," she said. "You have a stone in your heart, and some days it's so heavy there is nothing to be done. But you don't have to be alone for it. You should have come to me. I understand.
sweet flower book
Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them.
book publish
You want to publish with a publisher because a publisher knows how to publish a book. And you don't. You really don't.
believe people sometimes
I firmly believe that we're all good people, but sometimes it's hard to understand how to do good.
giving ink three
I also felt guilty about the three pens I'd stolen, but only for a second. And since there was no convenient way to give them back, I stole a bottle of ink before I left.
wall book winning
On the other hand, winning awards is cool. Aside from the warm fuzzy, it creates publicity, and that helps spread the word about the book. Plus, this award was a plaque of some sort. I could have used that for all sorts of things. Obviously it would be useful for decorating the barren walls of my house and intimidating my enemies, but that's just for starters.
character half care
Character is half the reason we read. We're excited because of the plot, but we care because of the characters.
practice masters
Practice makes the master.
pay might neighbor
Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.
sleep giving mistress
Music is a proud, temperamental mistress. Give her the time and attention she deserves, and she is yours. Slight her and there will come a day when you call and she will not answer. So I began sleeping less to give her the time she needed.
lost
I won the only duel I ever lost.
book long good-things
The good thing about working on the books for 14 years before they hit the shelves is that I worked out most of the kinks long before they were published.
