It’s terrific that you are so dedicated, but when do you get a chance for some downtime?? You know … fun?

Time off is important.

It hurts my eyes.

I had the same problem with another agent’s website. She used a bright pink background and light text on that. Yeow.

Research says that the easiest type to read is black on a white background — sort of like the printed page!

Just an FYI.

One question pops out – why don’t agents list the novels that editors are looking for. For example, I have four in the stable and am never sure which to query in any year. (I write each in nine or ten months)

I meant 100,000 words, Kanani. Math is not my strongest subject; clearly, even decimal points and extra zeroes present a challenge.

And thank you, Ryan Field and Mr/Ms Anonymous, for that tip about clicking on the post and dragging to get a color change for font and background. You’ve just saved me a world of headaches.

Truly, I live and learn.

I agree about the blue font being difficult to read.

Thank you for the wonderful post!

When they were published, the previous novels they had written were then published as well.
What has been your experience on this?

But there are always exceptions.

One best seller that’s currently on the charts took 6 months to write. Another 9 months from acceptance to publication.

But then Lovely Bones took ten years and had many revisions. Similarly, most of the books that I’m seeing work shopped were started at least three years ago.

And 10,000 words? Aim for 50,000 – 70,000. This gives you enough raw material to play with when you go for your final draft.

It shows up white with dark blue background.

Change the blue font, please…it must be payback for all the single-spaced, 10 point font mss you guys get. Great blog, though. Thanks
