Comments on: Rebecca’s Rules for Writing http://hummingbirdworldmedia.com/blog Information on web commerce, publishing and writing. Some of it useful, some of it not.

A book that gets reread is the highest compliment any writer could ask for. I know that I have my own special collection. It may be ten years between readings, but I know that when I can't find anything else that quite hits the spot, one of them will. They include works by Gwen Bristow (Calico Palace), Diane Pearson (Csardas), John Steinbeck (The Winter of our Discontent), and anything by James Herriot. By all means, once you have beefed up your historical romance, send it along to me if you think it may fit into a Christian theme. Romances are still the best sellers across the book world. Lynn,

You were so very nice to us. Thank you. I read In the Brief Eternal Silence and loved it. You are very good. I have a special book case for favorite books that I read often and yours is there now in some excellent company. You have also made me see how my historical romance needs a lot of beefing up. Thank you,again. Sincerely, Lynn Ullin Ms. Melvin,

Somerset Maugham is quoted as saying, "There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are." I like your rules, they don't restict the writer but rather encourage her to go boldly on with what becomes an outpouring of the heart and imagination. Also love your blog. You belong to the same club I do, looks like we both over-plan and have difficulty in fitting our ten pounds of 'to do' into a five pound sack. Look forward to hearing from you when you have time. Bless you. W. Somerset Maugham is quoted as saying, “There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately no one knows what they are.”
