I agree with Andrew above that vampires are overdone, but maybe that's your point--you can make anything fresh and exciting if you innovate.<br /><br />I love writing stories I would read but judging by my sales, my stories aren't really connecting to readers. I'll keep thinking about ways to do that better.Jennifer Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300124780126853962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-64869352814062558302013-08-07T18:38:19.035-05:002013-08-07T18:38:19.035-05:00You know, I just don't think we need to see va...You know, I just don't think we need to see vampires in any light, especially if it makes them sparkle.<br /><br />I have a post coming up next week that will be talking about this kind of thing, though.Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-91529588284786342492013-08-07T15:35:22.681-05:002013-08-07T15:35:22.681-05:00Hi Christine, yes, finding an audience is a journ...Hi Christine, yes, finding an audience is a journey, a good one.Molly/Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754996366796005745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-55752496861348568252013-08-07T15:34:43.186-05:002013-08-07T15:34:43.186-05:00Hi Vijaya, I totally agree that many have differen...Hi Vijaya, I totally agree that many have different goals and that really will help them define their ow success.

I consider them successful when they are able to meet their goals.<br /><br />The internetty things make my head spin.

I try to be more with every rejection. Each no has served as fuel to take more risks. But I do think that some serious perserverance is need to prevail. I honestly believe great art will make an impact. It might not make a monetary difference in the artist's life but it does make a difference. I will always remain hopeful of this. <br /><br />Molly/Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754996366796005745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-29496610930548432592013-08-04T18:41:45.734-05:002013-08-04T18:41:45.734-05:00I always think of writers who stubbornly keep subm...I always think of writers who stubbornly keep submitting when I hear this quotation... Self included. Proud to be crazy that way.<br />About innovation, I think my first few manuscripts(unpublished, and by most standards also publishable) were the more innovative ones. I hadn't yet incorporated the "how to" so ubiquitous on the internet and in writing courses.<br />Let us not forget the many innovative artists we never got to remember in the first place, because no one understood what they had to offer.Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.com
