The Great Write Way  

A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I mean, the cover's not mine, in that I didn't design and don't own it. But this is to promote the book and make them money.

Weirdassed industry.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Kenny loves Jamie Oliver's second cookbook; the third one, NSM. He's made Thai curry and fish pie, and one night during a sleepover I stumbled out and found three of them doing a classic fry-up, giggling and arguing about the tomatoes.

DH, OTOH, is perfectly capable of ruining frozen pizza.

Wanna see the cover!

It's gorgeous. All I need is permission from Marina Druckman in St Martins art department, and it's everywhere.

I adore it. It's generating masses of good response, too; I actually suggested the basis for the concept, the peeling back of layers to reveal the story behind the song.

So very cool. I will sit here and beam on your behalf.

What do you lot do in here, anyway?

We workshop to each other, and ask advice, and whimper for betas, and share news, and talk about writers groups and WIPs and whatnots.

Hmm. How well does it work, given the Buffista propensity to talk things to death?

This I totally love:

It's the back of the postcards we're having done. We laid out the blurbs from the reviews, onto a mousepad.

Weirdly, in here, it tends to be more to the point: questions, answers, and genreal support. Rather focussed, oddly enough.

You should have been here the day I happened to be on the phone with Marlene about life in general, and Susan posted that she'd finished the book, and I commented on it, and Marlene asked about it and then asked to see it.
