    "Personal" question(s) to John Jarrold

    John, in your experience have you found that exposure in literary magazines and/or ezines makes an author more marketable to publishers? I know you've said before it's really all about how good the work is, but if that is so why are there so many writers who chose this route? Are they (we)...

    Should chapters be about the same length?

    Doesn't make a bit of difference to me (as reader or writer) as long as the material flows logically and moves the story forward.

    just an idea

    Great action sequences! Like the casual, ass kicking attitude. This is obviously a rough draft so polish it up. Bravo!

    "Personal" question(s) to John Jarrold

    Magic as Science

    It all sounds fairly fresh, but if this is going to be the main focus of your story I think you're looking at a very small target audience because frankly, the details will become pretty boring after just a few pages. The best fiction in my view is character driven action.

    "Personal" question(s) to John Jarrold

    Wow, Martin is one of my favorites and very popular here in general. Sorry to put you in an awkward position so thanks for playing along. I just think it's interesting to hear about the various "what if" scenerios such as the chap who left the Beatles just before they hit it big, the guy who...
