:roll:

OMG, don't get me started on Oprah's "hopeful" selections. I don't think she'll go for the ponies, though. She has a very low equine appreciation quotient, as far as I can tell.

UHN, as long as they're edgy you're fine. Edgy hopeful ponies.

It's a different niche :D

The criticism thing is so true. One of my (violin) students is starting to write, and part of why I know she's got talent isn't just cos she can express her thoughts well...it's also because she asks me for real feedback on what she's written and tries her best to integrate that feedback into her next piece.

Hateful ponies. Hateful vampire ponies. Hateful vampire ponies vs. sexy vampire ponies. Plus wereponies. In high school. And they're all either in love with a kind of nerdy normal pony, or they want to kill her.

Guaranteed bestseller, and it's all mine. Muhahahahaha!

I think you've got something big here. You should delete your post before someone steals your idea.

That's crap. No one would steal that unless the vampires were also at war with barbaric thuggish werewolves.

ETA: And some guy got changed into a werewolf and a vampire.

And he's in love with a vampiress who's supposed to kill him.

They wear risque leather saddles.

Okay, now for an actual writerly question. How much do you write to a specific niche or market?

That was harsh but funny nonetheless. :)

I was going to write a book called "Tipping Cows"

Does anyone have an idea of what that book's about?
