Do leave me a comment, I'd love to hear from you.
I like your quiz. OK fair deal if I ever get published I owe you a signed copy.
ReplyDeleteAha, my cunning plan to get people to give me free books is working!
ReplyDeleteFun one. The only question I hesitated on was the last one. My initial impulse was "JK Rowling got rejected a lot..." But let's face it, as stunningly successful as her work has been, it could have used a bit of a polish and been even better, so I went with "...maybe it needs more work"
ReplyDeleteEnd score? 16. So I am "on my way".
Been on my way for a long, long time. It's the journey, not the destination that counts.
Right?
JKR was only rejected 9 or maybe 12 times, an amount I could happily cope with!
ReplyDeleteJasper Fforde, on the other hand, was rejected 76 times over a ten year period. Not unduly perturbed, he wrote four or five sequels while waiting, because he was enjoying the writing, according to his website.
His attitude is a good one, I think.
I will have to have another and closer look at Mr. Fforde's site. I enjoyed "Something Rotten" a couple of weeks ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat did he do to put a roof over his head before his writing career took off?
He worked in the film industry at a variety of jobs. (I've just looked it up.)
ReplyDelete16!
ReplyDeleteI'd have expected no less from you, Keef :o)
