Would've been even cooler if she'd gone on longer as a no-name, but I'm sure no publisher would've stood for that. So I 100% back you on the self-pub. Hear that, Ms. Rowling?Nicki Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412032684225126973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213297244305443272.post-72352145903127336702013-08-03T07:43:10.322-04:002013-08-03T07:43:10.322-04:00Liza -- Exactly my thoughts.

All I can say about CV is that it was very well written...it just happened to be a grim story that ended on a grimmer note. The writing however, was excellent. She can write, there's no question. I like the idea that she wants her words out there without the name. No matter how rich she is, she's a writer like any other and wants to be accepted as one. With all the HP success, how can she ever get objective criticism? More power to her I say. I hope she keeps writing under any name she likes.Lizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170701034715108039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213297244305443272.post-79830669141315832692013-08-01T16:34:06.374-04:002013-08-01T16:34:06.374-04:00Rula -- Thanks.

Rowling. lol that's funny. I feel bad for J.K. She made a name for herself and now everyone just wants her to write more HP. and I don't blame her for not wanting too. I know I want to write other stuff once I get my Regency series finished.Robynne Randhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543633861156873031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-213297244305443272.post-53019205164433913782013-08-01T11:33:50.946-04:002013-08-01T11:33:50.946-04:00I tried publishing under I.

It's a wonder we have killed ourselves long ago.<br /><br />I hope JK does what you suggest -- after all, she can afford to self-publish with all the bells and whistles!Roland D.
