About

I am everyone who has written a novel and tried to get it published–500,000 of us a year. Since only 50,000 books are published each year, and perhaps only 100 are by first-time novelists, getting published is like winning a lottery. But someone does win. This year maybe it will be me.

    Thank you for the link to this site. Have enjoyed reading further points on how you develop (or consider the development) of your characters. So much of the reading on Gather is like running hurdles — exhausting to get through and damaging on some level (I know it is). Reading your work is like sculling, sort of, except all I need do is ride along.

    I’ve bookmarked Bertram’s Blog. Thanks again for your Birthday good wishes.

    Best,
    Lynn

    To me, and I guess like everyone else, this is a challenge to write a better novel than everyone else.
