The market is constantly changing. Who's to say the book of your heart won't be tomorrow's market niche? Write what you love to read. I promise you won't be the only one who enjoys reading it.Sue Finemannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-53911081364838465912010-09-04T12:06:02.649-04:002010-09-04T12:06:02.649-04:00You have to write what moves you, regardless of wh...You have to write what moves you, regardless of what the trends say. Everything seems to cycle back around anyway. If it doesn't move you, the writing will be flat and it won't move anyone else. Funny how what one publishing house says won't fly can find a home somewhere else.Renee Wildeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05277149067234552684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-77262567419845322322010-09-03T12:09:22.358-04:002010-09-03T12:09:22.358-04:00Amy, write what you like because if you don't ...Amy, write what you like because if you don't write what YOU like, because if you don't, it shows in your writing. Believe me, it does. It lacks passion, something that can't be taught. Passion comes from the heart. And then edit the book of your heart to make it agreeable to read.Mona Riskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14923883333893160794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-588376429247025873.post-82134225352084724112010-09-03T10:42:27.831-04:002010-09-03T10:42:27.831-04:00Brava, Amy!

But, why would I want to write what I don't want to read? I'd suck at it and never sell anyway. So, I'm stockpiling my manuscripts, ready for the day contemporary stories return to greater favour. <br /><br />Joan Leacott<br />heart, humour, and heat...
