And yes, "series" structure is precise and defined in the commercial markets. POV likewise a big deal with lots to learn.<br /><br />PLEASE remind me in November about this topic list.<br /><br />Rowena - email me for more specific answer to your question.<br /><br />As for erotica vs. cozy-mystery - lots to say about TRENDS too, but right now my mind is buzzing with the following post and all my objections to this man's thesis: <br /><br />http://www.ttfuture.org/files/2/pdf/gotto_interview.pdf <br /><br />That link was pointed out to me on facebook by Cie McCullough.<br /><br />Full of stuff I disagree with, full of facts I know are true from which a picture is drawn that doesn't fit other facts I know of, and ONE ITEM I learned unless it turns out not to be true - ORIGIN OF THE Ph.D. degree and the influence that has spread through USA's higher education system. <br /><br />Great jumping off point for another post in this FAILURE OF IMAGINATION series because the philosophy discussed bears directly on the plausibility of the HEA, and why it is so hysterically rejected by modern America.<br /><br />One thing about reading GOTTO INTERVIEW linked above -- think about Alvin Toffler's Future Shock book and then read my blog entry <br /><br />http://aliendjinnromances.blogspot.com/2010/02/fix-for-publishing-business-model.html<br /><br />Jacqueline Lichtenberg<br />http://jacquelinelichtenberg.comJacqueline Lichtenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01613040740264804278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-6371976140559157352010-09-29T11:17:45.402-04:002010-09-29T11:17:45.402-04:00All great stuff, Jacqueline, and, as usual, it wil...All great stuff, Jacqueline, and, as usual, it will take me a while to digest it.<br /><br />Hey, can you bloggers here start tagging your posts so I can just click on the tags on the sidebar? All of you post such great stuff and it can be hard to find a particular topic.<br /><br />Also, I'd reeeeeally appreciate it if you guys would consider blogging about the following topics-<br /><br />1) Writing short stories.<br /><br />2) Writing from the male Point of View. (So few authors write well from the POV of the opposite sex, but I have a short story nagging me with it right now and I'm scared.)<br /><br />3) Moving on to writing more complex stories. Sugar Rush clocked in just under 70,000 words and is told only in the Heroine's POV, 3rd Person. If all goes well, the next book in the series should be a little longer with more complex plot threads. The book after that begs to be shared with the Hero's POV. And the final will be the most complex which leads me to the next question.<br /><br />4) Writing a series.Kimber Lihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03982239712083114488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-50332144723017960912010-09-29T07:27:18.262-04:002010-09-29T07:27:18.262-04:00So, Erotica is all the rage, and has been for a fe...So, Erotica is all the rage, and has been for a few years. I've also noticed that a couple of the pirate sites seem to share a disproportionate quantity of m/m or m/m/f material.<br /><br />Can Astrology account for that? <br /><br />And if so, when will readers cry out for cosy mysteries? (Or any other genre that is currently out of favor?)RowenaBCherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826977922522817547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26974492.post-71240717528784325932010-09-29T07:21:59.988-04:002010-09-29T07:21:59.988-04:00Wow.
