Right now I feel like "hook" is going to beat good writing almost every time in traditional publishing. They don't seem to go together as often as they should.<br /><br />IN response to a ton of you ;-D - I think that the process is going to change drastically even just between projects. It's been fun to go a couple of different routes, and it'll be interesting to see what my take on this subject will be in another year or two.<br /><br />Morgan - EEEEE I just love Morgan!!<br /><br />Diane - I work backwards in a lot of things . . .<br /><br />LTM - I love that I have an agent who's now shopping to BIG publishers only. Is not afraid to take a chance with a small company that really seems to have their stuff together, and even said she'd help me promote if I ever wrote something I wanted to self-pub. She's just awesome that way.<br /><br />THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!<br /><br />And thanks Jen :DJolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-21095146828002006752012-01-23T11:09:14.826-06:002012-01-23T11:09:14.826-06:00Good luck Jolene.
