First, I think to do this right you need to start a new thread for each new topic or facet like the other regular special focus groups do.

Second, my observation is that you can go crazy trying to figure out what agents/publishers want. My writing has been compared to that of Nicholas Sparks (which I disagree) and John Grishom (mmmmm, maybe) by agents. Both times I said "thanks you," and both times they said, "But I hate the way he writes."

Sort of like the Yankees saying, "Thanks, but we don't need another lefty who throws 98 mph fast balls."

Go figure.

Go figure indeed.

Of course, writing is very objective.

As for starting a new thread for each topic... I will let the others chime in on that. If this is supposed to be like the Hobbit Hole (that's what it was compared to) then that thread is more like a running commentary that gets a new thread only when it reaches maximum capacity.

I am only trying to stimulate conversation until the thread gets a life of its own because I don't want it to die away.

BTW, did you see my post where I complimented your tagline?
