    Just call it, “Gah” and go from there. It will be a best seller.

    She should call it “All males are booger-brains”. That way, she’ll get half of the public to watch it.

    Back in the day, a newspaper reporter was forced to work on New Years Day. He decided he’d come up with a best selling novel, so he picked the three biggest stories of the day and combine them. The stories were Palestinian terrorists, unhappy Vietnam veterans, and the Super Bowl. The book was called ‘Black Sunday’ and the author went on the write ‘Silence of the Lambs.’

    Around 1960, an author noted that the biggest sellers were books about dogs, medical dramas, and historical works about Abraham Lincoln—and remarked that if you wanted to write a surefire best-seller, you should call it Lincoln’s Doctor’s Dog.

    I’m pretty that until you are en established author (and maybe even then) the publisher will choose the title most of the time.

    Staring at the screen is not writing.

    The difference between a collaborator and an editor is forward progress. One helps. One hinders. Both agree you’re the problem

    There are editors and editors. If you find a good one, you’ll hang on to him or her for dear life. If you get stuck with a bad one, move on. Rather like any other professional from a plumber to a mechanic to a surgeon.

    One of my favorite “Peanuts” strips was one where Snoopy was writing to his (alleged) publisher: “I waited all day yesterday for you to pick up my book and make it a best-seller, yet you never showed up. Were you not feeling well?”

    Writing a first novel for monetary reward is absolutely the worst reason.

    Its so much fun to write a novel over three years and get no money from it.

    I’ve done it again and again…

    There once was an author who had written a book but couldn’t for the life of him come up with a suitable title. His editor asked him if there was anything in the book about drums or trumpets. The author said no, the editor said title it “No drums, no trumpets”

    There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down and have a little talent,
