It's a type of relationship, and most people are at least friendly with some of their coworkers, right?...<br /><br />Perhaps I'm just odd, but I always end up feeling a little weird if one of my friends has read my stuff, at least if they've done it recently. Even moreso when said friend is not another writer-type. So my friends definitely don't need to have read my writing to be my friend.<br /><br />Of course, neither my writer-type friends nor I are published yet, so perhaps things will change a bit if/when one of us ever is. But I hope it won't change too much. We'll have to wait and see.Kristin Laughtinhttp://kristinlaughtin.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-56120973716965268672010-08-31T17:59:19.517-04:002010-08-31T17:59:19.517-04:00It's a very good point and one lotsa newbie wr...It's a very good point and one lotsa newbie writers have to learn (been there done that!)<br /><br />http://damselinadirtydress.blogspot.comNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648307410383451558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-89997235995287955742010-08-31T17:45:17.717-04:002010-08-31T17:45:17.717-04:00Thanks for passing this along, it was really nice ...Thanks for passing this along, it was really nice to hear. <br /><br />The whole idea of agent/author relationships has been really weighing on me lately. As someone about to start querying for the first time, when I research agents, sometimes I get the "Wow, I'd really love to just sit down and have coffee with this person and chat!" reaction and sometimes I get the "Wow, this person could sell a hella ton of books" reaction. I guess, ideally, you want both. <br /><br />But I have to say I'm relieved to hear you talk about the agents who've developed friendships with their authors. It's really good to hear.Meagan Spoonerhttp://meaganspooner.livejournal.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34218279.post-53332800781963036372010-08-31T17:38:38.100-04:002010-08-31T17:38:38.100-04:00Really good piece; thanks for the link.
