JULY QUESTION: Is there anything you'd like to see changed, added, and/or rearranged by the book publishing industry?
I wish they'd focus more on finding the exceptional novels--the hidden gems-- of lesser important writers, instead of relying on celebrities, knowing that the fame of these authors will bring them immediate sales whether the book is well-written or not.
JUNE QUESTION: Do most of your story ideas come from one place (the news, dreams, etc.) or do they hit from all over the place?
My story ideas come from everywhere and everything: from my own muse, a dream, real everyday life, my childhood living on a farm, the news, my own personal experiences, voracious reading. . . and the list goes on and on. I'm what you call a situational aware person who notices new environments and surroundings like a restaurant or a public gathering. I watch and listen to people in stores and crowds. It drives my husband crazy when I point to the restaurant booth behind me and lowly say," Shhh...I want to hear what those people are fighting about ." :)

I hear you there! A couple positive words can go a long way, eh?
ReplyDeleteHappy IWSG Day, Judy. I hope all is well with you!
ReplyDeleteI agree that there is too much focus on celebrity books.
ReplyDeleteSomeone else mentioned that same issue today.
ReplyDeleteI agree Judy Ann! Find those hidden gems. A lot of celebrity writers have ghost writers and an unbelievable support team. Would be nice.
