For instance, even if I knew that vampires were going to be all the rage, I’m quite sure I couldn’t write a book that included one. I guess I’m destined to write whatever pops into my head and hope for the best.Jane Kennedy Suttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519340747761460017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-62704569030305918592010-05-06T09:44:17.669-05:002010-05-06T09:44:17.669-05:00Hi Heather, one book at a time is how I do it.

I agree there needs to be more hours in the day!<br /><br />Hi India, thanks for stopping by. It struck me that editors can see trends coming because they read so much. For writers, though, it will be about balancing reading and writing time. That's tough!<br /><br />Cheers~Nancy J.

Sometimes I feel I barely have time to write, but I know I need to read more.<br /><br />Maybe I can hire a reader... :)Heather Snowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00711640649711338968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8797742184466184860.post-8625761697473645752010-05-04T15:37:56.488-05:002010-05-04T15:37:56.488-05:00Hi Talli, thanks for stopping by.
