It's so hard t...Thanks for featuring me today!<br /><br />It's so hard to know who's going to be okay with what exceptions. It seems like every agent, editor, publisher, and reader wants something different. A lot of traditionally published books I've seen break a lot of supposed rules, like introducing 20-30 minor characters in the first 30 pages and then never featuring them again, or having a narrator who constantly horns in to give away the ending and pivotal plot developments.Carrie-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810154378449825641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-75700050024792289682014-04-28T15:43:38.385-04:002014-04-28T15:43:38.385-04:00In writing, there are exceptions to every "ru...In writing, there are exceptions to every "rule." Well, every rule except one: Keep your reader interested. If you break that one, you're toast. (Not literally. Unless you were toast to begin with, in which case I don't understand how you're reading this.)<br /><br />And of course I can buy last-minute Xmas gifts for 25 relatives in 25 minutes. In fact, I can tell you exactly how to do it yourself with a single word: Amazongiftcards. I don't go that route, though, because it lacks thoughtfulness. And because I'm Jewish.Nate Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690171790664252309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-66361538609429706842014-04-28T14:15:59.660-04:002014-04-28T14:15:59.660-04:00My betas are gold when it comes to telling me when...My betas are gold when it comes to telling me when I've pushed the rule breaking too far :)<br />Sophie<br /><a href="http://sophiesthoughtsandfunmbles.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Sophie's Thoughts & Fumbles</a> - A to Z Ghosts<br /><a href="http://fantasyboysxxx.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Fantasy Boys XXX</a> - A to Z Drabblerotic<br />Sophie Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14768033409563305140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502176161456143914.post-46114061193578119132014-04-28T14:13:28.888-04:002014-04-28T14:13:28.888-04:00While I have never shopped on Xmas Eve I have work...While I have never shopped on Xmas Eve I have worked it plenty of times because of a career in retail. I have witnessed those men completing all their shopping that evening and most of them were incredibly happy and not stressed out.
