Thanks again for having me, it's lovely round here, isn't it?<br /><br />Patsy, I think even a very sketchy plan can help. I've definitely tied myself up in knots before, without one!

Your interview is so inspiring – and I didn’t think it sounded like you didn’t like writing novels at all. I think, like you say, they are very different from short stories.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by, Cally.<br />Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06919354420843737481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795505206291206148.post-41609593098861295862013-09-18T13:33:31.287-07:002013-09-18T13:33:31.287-07:00Really enjoyed your interview Jill.

It's been lovely although I've just re-read the interview and I've made it sound as though I don't enjoy writing novels. I do! I love it, it's just very different from writing short stories.<br /><br />Wendy - Thank you! I would definitely recommend you making that jump, but I can definitely relate to you loving short story writing.<br /><br />Karen - Thank you so much for reading my book and I'm so glad you enjoyed it too! It's definitely a very exciting time for publishing. I buy so many more books now I have my kindle, I can't keep away from that one-click button!Jill Steepleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415291022830619230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795505206291206148.post-79025039896209509312013-09-18T09:12:33.496-07:002013-09-18T09:12:33.496-07:00Another really interesting interview.

I know just what Jill means about feeling awkward on Twitter, I still haven't fully embraced it yet!<br /><br />It's great that digital publishing is opening so many doors for good writers.
