I always like to read an agent's perspective on traditional versus self publishing.<br /><br />Btw...I feel bad about revealing the last Harry Potter details about Snape. I kinda spoiled it for you.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2016505486794178553.post-54937536873781755032011-05-20T20:32:25.291-04:002011-05-20T20:32:25.291-04:00Loved the interview.

You're running a fun and informative blog here, and I'll be sure to keep stopping by.<br /><br />@Anita: I can sing Phantom but only the major Les Mis songs. :) And #2. Yeah, that was a tiny bit mortifying. I was zoned out thinking about writing and about how whenever you see a terrible "ditch full of skeletons" scene (in movies) there are never baby skeletons... Guess it would be too much for most readers/viewers. So I piped up randomly in mid-conversation among a bunch of mommies-to-be: "Guys, do babies even <i>have</i> skeletons?"

I mean, how often do you get to meet an agent w/a writer's brain? Hee. <br /><br />Congrats on your switch to writing full time, Lora. And I so agree with this: "sometimes a writer has to get selfish w/their time." I've recently had to do that myself, and had the amazing support of my blogger pals to back me up. Writers rock!<br /><br />Also, my guess, I'm thinking #1 is the not true. But if it IS true, you're one up on me! I can only do it w/the Phantom musical. ;)<br /><br />Great post, and great blog, Deana.
