I have joked (and been serious) before about what I have done when rejected by agents, publishers or critiques. The strategy is mostly about drinking.

This round on the blog chain Sandra. We all know it's important to read fiction if you want to write fiction, but what about reading non-fiction? How much non-fiction do you read? What kinds of non-fiction books do you read, and why? Has reading non-fiction influenced your fiction writing style? I'm turning into one of those moms with mush for brains. Quick!

So I'm a day late on the blog chain and the topic is my own question! I asked the group:. Have you developed thick skin as a writer? How do you handle having your work critiqued? Do you love revising? Had very helpful comments, and my agent gave me a great editorial letter. Some of these critiques shared common threads, but of course the specific comments varied. S in the manuscript to keep me going.

                                        Monday, April 20, 2015. Choosing a World to Build. In the past, when I've finished a book, I take a week or two off to clear out the previous book's webs in my brain-attic, then start on a new project.
