[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]What do you say[/b] to a friend who has published a romance novel that you think is TERRIBLE? It's published by a respected publisher (like Simon & Schuster, but not S&S). I just can't think of a positive thing to say. I truly love this friend and am in awe that she is a published author, while mothering two little sons, and I've told her so. [/quote] [i]I cannot believe you are a published author! I am so proud of you! I recommended the title to the library so you can get more readers. Do you have any ideas for your next novel?[/i][/quote] Bingo! And you can ask lots of questions. "How did you decide for This Character to do That?" "What was it like dealing with the publishing house?" "What hours of the day did you get your writing done?" And always, "I am so proud of you." [/quote]
