Perhaps that could be the subject of one of your own posts? I shall pop over to your site and suggest this.Janet O'Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171856638576748169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575517806692639224.post-10337017287642634002012-08-19T12:32:51.288-07:002012-08-19T12:32:51.288-07:00Best of luck with the novel, Janet.

It's always possible to learn a new way of tacking a writing problem, and one never stops learning or trying to improve.Martin Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082485795280777670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575517806692639224.post-54133350053965443602012-08-09T11:05:01.276-07:002012-08-09T11:05:01.276-07:00Hi Jeff, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving y...Hi Jeff, thanks for visiting my blog and leaving your comment. I'm reassured by your enthusiasm for how-to-write books too. The Gerke book is definitely one of the best I've read.Janet O'Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17171856638576748169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1575517806692639224.post-76888553016022197332012-08-09T07:36:34.378-07:002012-08-09T07:36:34.378-07:00I think it's smart of you not to wait for the ...I think it's smart of you not to wait for the first novel's success to start writing the second. Of course, any edits requested by an agent or editor for the first might cascade into the second, but so what? It's better than sitting around dreaming and waiting. <br /><br />As for enjoying reading how-to-write books I think anyone calling you out for being an amateur for that better a) be very successful right now, b) never have had similar books on their shelves and c) have all the answers.<br /><br />But maybe I'm just saying that because I'm a rank amateur who enjoys such books myself. I'll have to add this Jeff Gerke book to my "To check out" list.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00968021488033814373noreply@blogger.com
