ETA: Pimpety-pimp!

redial_the_gateIM chat this Friday, rewatching There But For The Grace Of God before the recap next Tuesday. I do NOT expect to see anyone there who has NaNo to finish. I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. (Unless of course you've finished it by then, in which case, come along! *g*)

Of course - for research. I understand. :)

(Have you ever read Georgette Heyer? She rocks.)

I don't *think* I have. But I just added a couple of books to my library queue.

Heh! Which ones? She's just glorious - and far more talented than a 'mere' romance writer.

er...Venetia and The Talisman Ring. Because they were first on the list. ;-)

"Mere" romance writer...see, romance is just like any other genre. I mean, Jane Austen was a "mere romance writer."

Oh, fab! Talisman Ring was one of the first Georgette Heyers I read, and it's absolutely brilliant, IMO. And Venetia is one of my favourites, too. I hope you like 'em.

And, yes, absolutely - there's nothing about the genre itself that's "mere", it's just that there's so many trashy romance novels out there, I think they kind of make the good writers look bad. The phrase "romance writer" carries connotations of... pinkness, lacy cusions, and tiny dogs with bows in their hair. Which is completely unfair for the good writers, but there you go.
