But it takes time to be come a classic.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-7985034692832433532007-08-08T15:03:00.000+01:002007-08-08T15:03:00.000+01:00Oh good grief.

Spoonfeeding people the comfort of their hypocrisies is a pretty base level of journalism.Sela Carsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410188636252030577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-82410700270808866572007-08-07T12:03:00.000+01:002007-08-07T12:03:00.000+01:00Oh and Kate.

Have you reinvented it?"<BR/><BR/>I was so disappointed that someone at regional level could be so lacking in insight! <BR/><BR/>In contrast I find my ex collegaues on the locals to be very intelligent and well-informed.<BR/><BR/>Phillipa<BR/><BR/>PhillipaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-88496354280041200192007-08-07T12:00:00.000+01:002007-08-07T12:00:00.000+01:00Michelle - I don't know where this silly remark ca...Michelle - I don't know where this silly remark came from. A Senior ed spoke at the RNA and said she was always very heartened by just how supportive the romance community was compared to the authors in some other genres. <BR/><BR/>I think a handbag fight could be quite fun, fuelled by champagne!<BR/><BR/>PhillipaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-36740355295668446242007-08-06T08:58:00.000+01:002007-08-06T08:58:00.000+01:00Blimey.

There are the odd egos, but you get that in ANY genre.<BR/><BR/>Romantic novelists are a really supportive bunch.<BR/><BR/>A romantic author whose debut recently came out told me how delighted she was to find everyone was so friendly and approachable. I think she speaks for the majority.<BR/><BR/>As you say, someone was trying to be clever. And there's a lot of lazy journalism when it comes to romantic novelists.Kate Hardyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07367918727779245526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-41586733401785123652007-08-06T07:02:00.000+01:002007-08-06T07:02:00.000+01:00Well, yes rather.I did write to the Sunday Telegra...Well, yes rather.<BR/><BR/>I did write to the Sunday Telegraph and complain.<BR/><BR/>Not that it will do any good, but it made me feel better.Michelle Styleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03400990189443593076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11101950.post-65322696646881787782007-08-05T18:52:00.000+01:002007-08-05T18:52:00.000+01:00Here, here.
