in a blog about a blog/book/movie (yup, it will eat* itself …)
We just watched Julie & Julia and I totally loved this (very Nora Ephron) line.
Julia Child is packaging up her ms to send it off to prospective publishers, she says to her husband :
“Savour the moment, the moment when anything is possible, the moment you can just imagine they’re going to love everything you do and it’s going to sell a million copies and change the world.”
Yes. That’s exactly what it’s like, for me at least, every time the hope. Every time.
I love it when a writer writes WELL about what writing’s like. All too often I feel like writers get it as wrong when they write writers as they usually do when writing actors. (Oh god, the dreadfully-written actors I’ve read in my time …)
* eat. d’you see what I did there?
Not Writing But Blogging 
I liked what you did with writing on the Mills and Boone program the other night–a writer delving into a new type of writing. Really enjoyed it.

I watched the program about you writing a mills and boon book again, i watched it last year and enjoyed it. I thought last year it would have been great if you had written the whole book and had it published as i would have enjoyed reading it.
This is my favourite mills and boon genre and has been since the launch. I love the supernatural topics and the stories that have come from it, They are amazing.
I have been reading these books since the late 70’s and worked my way through all the genres under their umbrella.
I did prefer the intrigue when they arrived but liked the supernatural ones the most to the point that the older style became much of a muchness and just boringso i moved onto blaze. Wow! Those boss were scorchers but when nocturne came along i want interested in the older ones to the point that the thousands of books I’ve had of my mother over the years that i hadn’t read yet have been steadily making they’re way to the public library without having been read by me. I was gutted when she told me that some ofthe intrigues had supernatural stories in them because i thought they were all detective and spy kind of books.grrrrr! Never mind, too late now.
Anyway would you consider publishing The Bonary

This is my favourite mills and boon genre and has been since the launch. I love the supernatural topics and the stories that have come from it, as I love angels, fairies, werewolves, vampires, witches, demons, dragons etc. They are amazing.

Anyway would you consider publishing The Bonary Touch. I hope you will, maybe one day
