Did any of you happen to see Danielle Steele interviewed by Larry King recently? Listen up! This is a special message to those of you who may think you're going to grind out your bestseller with a couple of months' work. Ms. Steele told Larry she spends one year on an 80-100-page outline; then a second year on the first draft; and finally, two years editing each book. If it requires Danielle Steele four years to produce a quality product, how long does it take you?
Here are the coming attractions in November at iUBR:
Kermit Lopez' Cibolero review
Interview with Susan Higginbotham
Brandy Purdy's The Confessions of Piers Gaveston review
Maybe not a best seller, but a seller of some kinf can be written in a few months. I wouldn't exactly equate my sitaution to hers....
ReplyDeleteDid you know she said she still writes all her books on a 1946-model, manual typewriter? Maybe that has something to do with it.
