Blogging on Sunday, hmmmm!

I spent the whole Sunday with my kids and ex-wife, and just came back home, totally and absolutely tired. Plus, soccer Sunday –what a temptation to become a numb couch potato!
But reading The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing a Novel is so fun, and instructive, and writing has become such a wonderful experience… So, here I am.

Chapter 3 The List
The List is basically the bestselling list. Tom Monteleone recalls the history of the List, back to 1895.

Nowadays, things have changed, mainly because of the Web. But something is still the same: publishers need to have bestselling authors to keep the publishing business running.

Why do they bother to publish new high-risk writers?

Tom says: because of their potential to become bestselling writers one day.

Why does Tom talk about the List?

(My wife got home while I was writing the previous sentence. We did what adults do. So, that was it with my writing on Sunday).

All I can say about chapter 3 is that it is a good read. I am not going to transcribe here all of Tom Monteleone's Guide, so, this time I choose to give some advice to all the readers, fans and followers of this blog: get a copy of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Writing a Novel and read chapter 3!
