Dance With the One What Brung Ya? by Jenny Bent |
|
Years ago I heard a very famous and important author, one whom I respect so much, speak at a writers conference and I've never forgotten it. He talked a lot about loyalty. He had the same agent and the same editor for all of his career and not only was this very important to him, but he also felt it was an integral part of his success.
I think that's wonderful, and like I said, I remember it still. And his agent and his editor are both stellar and important members of the publishing community.

Thriller Sidekicks by Lee Child |

Way too often main characters in suspense fiction are like show lofts in new developments: they’re designed within an inch of their lives. You’ve been there: you walk through the cement dust and the broker opens the door and suddenly you’re in a million-dollar big bland space planned to hit the ninety-ninth percentile smack between the eyes. It’s sensible, it’s considered … except there’s a thing in there: maybe a dead tree painted white in a pot, or a big rock in the middle of the floor, or a black-and-nickel Les Paul leaning against a four-cab Marshall stack, buzzing and crackling and humming. It’s something that says hey, dude, you’re not really boring, no sir, you’re hip, you’re out there, you’re on the edge, you respond, you like this apartment. |
