Well the RWA takes anyone interested in writing romance and they don't have a problem with POD. It's the vanity stuff that seems to be the issue.

To be clear the book ends for me as well with "Well, I'm back." The rest is just a bonus which I greedily enjoy. It enhances it.

Why Write a Sex Scene? - Page 2...
Published (2009-11-24 11:08:00)
The reason to have sex in a story is that sex is a part of life, like eating, eliminating waste, breathing. I cannot verify the accuracy of the observation but I read that men think about sex every 7 seconds - I think I've slowed to down to every 8 or 9 seconds - whilst women think it about it every 17 seconds, hence the difficulty in matching up. As a part of life, it is open to examination. How a person (character) reacts to sex tells...

No, I don't think you are being naive at all. If you have the motivation to write a novel then do it. You may be surprised, though, at how big and complex it all gets. Make sure to always be organized. And prepare yourself for a long journey. Most people underestimate writing a book (I know that I did). Just know that it can take years to complete the novel depending on its length. It's also pretty difficult to edit your own work,...

My distorted inference was deliberate, because otherwise I'd have had to take your comment as a personal attack. Instead, I chose to ignore that fact and continue to discuss the topic. So let's move on. The words "Literary" and "Genre" are Academic jargon, frequently misused by non-academics. I'm trying to elucidate the meaning of those terms as they pertain to the current debate about...

I've been playing the crap out of the new Little Big Planet beta, but it stopped on Sunday, and I'm extremely dissappointed that the release date got pushed back a week. Oh well, there are still plenty of games to get my hands on this fall.
I'm extremely excited for:
Resistance 2
Gears 2
InFamous
Mirror's Edge
Fallout 3
Fable 2
Guitar Hero, WT
As of right now, I'm ...

I've never read Moon or Weber, but Cherryh is very different from Bujold, both in writing style and in the focus of the plots. Cherryh books tend to be very dark, with very morally compromised characters, while Bujold's characters are mainly good people who have to deal with trauma. Bujold does rising action and suspenseful climaxes as few others can...Cherry, not so much, her books tend to peter...

I thought it was ok, but after showing some weakness early on, Paksenarrion is just too perfect. And in her world, good always wins over evil.

That's great Neal. You're very lucky. My publisher has never attempted tosell foreign rights for me, and I've not tried myself either.What I need is a good agent who can do this stuff. I have a great one formy children's msp's, but not for my adult work.How do your sales in the US compare to Europe?

I like your suggestions, Taramoc, in general. I do have a few concerns. First, I want to make sure I got the sequence correct:
Week 1: story A submitted
Week 2: Story A discussed, Story B submitted
Week 3: Discussion of Story A closed. Story B discussed. Story C submitted.
Week 4: Dicussion of Story B closed. Story C discussed. Story D submitted.
... Repeat as necessary ...

Perhaps some lit critics don't care for SF/F (I'm including Fantasy because SF and F usually sit on the same shelf in your local chain bookstore and are typically painted with the same brush by critics). That doesn't bother me. SF/F has a wonderful core of fans who allow the genre to grow and expand. I hear time and time again that while other genres suffer from slow sales, SF/F books move ...

I'm in - whatever you want to do, all what you just said.
Oh, just occurred to me. I participated on a similar contest over on the WD forum (I think the limit was 4000 words) and I found it really hard to read that amount of text online (especially since there were about 9 entries). The forum over there is set up differently: the stories were posted in a thread. Which I could then easily ...

I wonder what criteria did you use to sort the stories in the threads.... not that I am complaining or anything.

Mmm, I'm guessing that it's (the incorporation of a sex scene in an, otherwise, unsexy tale) similar to adding racing stripes to a high performance automobile. It serves, or enhances, no essential function. It merely draws attention to itself.

As mentioned in the WoT thread, I'm currently reading Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson, and have been enjoying it so far. Halfway through at the moment of the first book.

I've read The Lord of the Rings seven times (just finished it last week), and I always end it differently.
I've read the entire appendices at least twice. Other times, I read excerpts ( the best parts) as you described above. Still other times, I've been known to launch right into The Silmarillion (if I haven't read it in a while).
