And I agree, I like to make up my own worlds and characters (I've noticed you have an incredible imagination from having read "Celestial Dragon").<br /><br />And I have noticed that many writers and agents are willing to help each other out. I think that's truly wonderful! <br /><br />Again, thank you for the support and encouragement!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04001921970529109760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-37363963369880348812009-08-20T22:38:09.875-05:002009-08-20T22:38:09.875-05:00Great post.

Usually writers are the most generous with their time and advice. Even agents take the time to let writers know how best to submit. I love writing because I can create my own world but I also love writing for the community and fellowship it provides. Very few of us could ever do it alone. You are so right with that comment.Ciara Goldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05669829712304962140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-88588346283990710822009-08-20T19:25:09.081-05:002009-08-20T19:25:09.081-05:00I don't know. I've seen some of the writer...I don't know. I've seen some of the writers who want to wing it on some of those agents' blogs commenting annoymously. So you never know. Maybe one of them will read the messages and understand.

Just like everything those agents say on their blogs, it will be heard by those of us who are following the rules already and completely missed by those who aren't. As the agents have said...the repeat offenders aren't on here reading blogs and bettering themselves. They're winging it, their arrogance convincing them they don't need advice.<br /><br />Although this stuff is great for new authors...those just starting out who are trying to figure all this stuff out.Stephanie Farishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10461865229341760836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-65521940916621940132009-08-20T14:36:03.068-05:002009-08-20T14:36:03.068-05:00Regina,

I read agent blogs that have tons of comments on "following the guidelines". I think that there are some authors out there that don't do the research before they start querying and thus give us all a bad name. If you do the research, you'll find the answer. There is pretty much no excuse.Regina Quentinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541489650098107512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4246474599139548059.post-65898837771277674622009-08-20T12:22:08.963-05:002009-08-20T12:22:08.963-05:00It was fun meeting them J.J.
