I've read your fiction before (and glanced over the chapter you linked--good stuff!) and, no, it's not "literary" by any stretch of the imagination. (Which isn't a bad thing or a good thing; it's just a matter of stylistical preference. :)<BR/><BR/>Best ofNonny Blackthornehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02921408573581637909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3200079.post-1116808267431313992005-05-22T19:31:00.000-05:002005-05-22T19:31:00.000-05:00I've read the first chapter and I'm sure you will ...I've read the first chapter and I'm sure you will find someone to publish it.

They're new at this, and I think they'll realize now that if a book does not have a strong 'literary' flavor to it to begin with, then it might not be what they're looking for.<BR/><BR/>And I now get to rework Ada Nish Pura, and not the same three chapters again.

Same with your short stories. However, not all matches are made in Heaven, and I agree with you that literary is not something you strive for, it's something you are or are not...with no judgments either way seeing as I love writers of both types.
