If you want to use any of this material contact me and there is a very good chance I will say YES.
However, if you just cut and paste into your own blog or whatever and pass it off as your own then there's a very good chance I will find out. Don't fall into the trap of thinking the internet is so vast and expanding so fast (note the fancy internal rhyme)] that no one will know.
Ii would never give up if I were him, BUT THEN HE DIDN’T. Well done to get so far. I do agree with a lot of making ones own luck, but it gets very tiring, given up myself at least three times over the years for my sanity, but somehow one still sticks things away in a cupboard and has another little re-write from time to time. My first manuscript stayed in a publishers garage for a year I later discovered My children’s picture book never happened, with a change of editor.
I’m just a poet now and a bit of a script writer but for you novelists STAY IN THE RING AND KEEP AT IT. Oh and DON’T LET NETWORKING TAKE YOU OVER, KEEP WRITING X
Good advice about the networking not being allowed to dominate. I so admire Ryans’s self belief and his novel does sound good. Short – told in multiple voices – all about the aftermath of the economic crash in Ireland
If at first I don’t succeed I always give up… or I hire a hit man. Or woman.
love it x
Well, that’s another approach…
