This one will be handy to remember if my mum ever asks can she read something I wrote... Now, I don't swear like a sailor in my writing, but I never swear in front of my parents. So it'd be weird for her to read that sort of stuff... nevermind anything else!Paul Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04498209913967406314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-44399260030376231302012-07-14T13:18:18.609-04:002012-07-14T13:18:18.609-04:00Thank you for stopping by, JD.

I'm fortunate that my mom is pretty easy-going, but I still told her that I wouldn't really recommend she read my one novel, but if she did to understand the deeper message in there. I don't know if she's ever read it or not; she's never said.Tressa Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597476567768952334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-25138499302941945852012-07-14T10:18:23.415-04:002012-07-14T10:18:23.415-04:00I was more worried about coming out as a writer at...I was more worried about coming out as a writer at work than home (my Mum does betaing for me). I have friends who write fanfic, who *have* to keep themselves anonymous when they write, because of the job they're in and the fact that they write slash. However, I have always posted very much in line with your suggestion at the top, JD, I never post anything on the internet that I wouldn't be prepared to stand behind, be it comments on a blog, or work I've published. Whether the item is flocked on LJ, privately posted on G+, open to world and for sale on Amazon, or in an email to a co-worker, I never, ever commit anything through the keyboard that I would mind the world seeing.<br /><br />Good advice JD :)Sophie Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768033409563305140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-60402942817228506282012-07-14T09:48:57.985-04:002012-07-14T09:48:57.985-04:00Brilliant advice - which doesn't just cover wh...Brilliant advice - which doesn't just cover what you write. A lot of folk have been telling me the same damn thing about how I do L+. <br /><br />At the end of the day, we're writers. We have to write what calls to us and what we really feel. I'd never show mum my erotica or hard-horror. But, I have to be true to myself in writing them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-90076042194545032502012-07-10T20:50:36.631-04:002012-07-10T20:50:36.631-04:00I concur.I concur.Lornahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08976144449873569523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-88228234127899976192011-07-15T13:54:13.635-04:002011-07-15T13:54:13.635-04:00cool cover!cool cover!Wynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812471355370019739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824097715923025741.post-8786522411514859292011-07-14T17:25:53.024-04:002011-07-14T17:25:53.024-04:00Keep on keeping on, lady!

When I was a kid, I dreamed of one day having a book published. That dream was shattered when I was old enough to realize the truth - becoming a movie star would be an easier goal to achieve! That didn't stop me from writing though. :) <br /><br />We're so lucky to live during this time... the cover is just one aspect of control indie authors can enjoy (or fret over! hehe). There is such a freedom in that. Now, I don't believe I would take a trad pub deal even if they begged on all fours.

I love the character, and after reading the back cover copy I think you're right - this cover is The One. (@AMHelsinkiBooks)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
