Which among your novels was the hardest or took you the longest to write? Why?<br /><br />2. Which book did you have the most fun writing?<br /><br />3. How does it feel when you receive negative reviews about your work. Does it take you a long time to get over it? Or do you just say to yourself 'Well, you can't please everybody.'?<br /><br />Hope those questions help. :)<br /><br />austenfanblogs[at]gmail[dot]comchocowaferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00049534818209320151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-10336049595859646472009-11-16T11:38:59.243-05:002009-11-16T11:38:59.243-05:00What would you do to make your characters believab...What would you do to make your characters believable?<br /><br />Have you ever thought of writing something of a different genre?<br /><br />Which is the easiest part of writing a novel?<br /><br />aikychien at yahoo dot comAikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07120383471104483739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-18319125705002705822009-11-12T14:32:56.723-05:002009-11-12T14:32:56.723-05:00I just love his books !!!!!!

Why or why not?<br /><br />another:<br />does he ever do anything authorly with his (I think) sister in law Katie Fforde who is also a novelist? Do they write brainstorm together, do booksignings together, compete with one another? And do the non-authorly members of their family ever get fed up with them for the pressure on them to be wildly creative?<br /><br />mayamissani AT yahoo DOT caM.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07498466631016466048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365304542230931817.post-54911531754601582802009-11-03T19:43:31.120-05:002009-11-03T19:43:31.120-05:00What is his favorite writing snack?
