You mean to tell me that I'm not the only one who hates answering that question? lol I usually ramble off something that does not do me or my book justice, all because I'm not so good at keeping things short. I write novels for goodness sakes! Of course, I have a problem keeping things short and simple. I average 80,000 - 100,000 words to get my point across. lol Great post, Ashley, as always. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01211512381536699167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-84948003440122059512012-05-15T09:41:52.049-07:002012-05-15T09:41:52.049-07:00Hi Anne, and thanks for coming by!

You made me giggle - I have a very literal imagination ;-) I've had a few jobs in which marketing/sale was supposed to figure to varying degrees, but even when it was the brunt of my job I hated it. I don't know what it is about it, but even as a kid doing fundraisers for school I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm missing the gene!Ashley Chappellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111538335871215137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-28961956179001792592012-05-11T13:14:04.246-07:002012-05-11T13:14:04.246-07:00Wish I had the answer and a good thing I wasted pl...Wish I had the answer and a good thing I wasted plenty of years pretending to be that salesperson in your picture. Just imagine him with a long curly wig and some tits. Anyway, it paid the bills and my writing is well not quite there yet.

And wondering if damages your credibility as an author if you can't discuss it easily...

And them came the question, "What it's about?" eek, I gave a brief summary but really I don't know how to handle that question! I feel like anything I say sounds so lame like, "Well...it's a story. And...it's also a fantasy. And some cool stuff happens that involve magic. Umm...and ah....the main character is a girl. But it isn't a romance. She...um...feels threatened."<br /><br />I'm working on that tag line though! :)Nicole Pyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920135146911951755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33618630.post-90534952616498165852012-05-08T08:50:19.039-07:002012-05-08T08:50:19.039-07:00LOL!
