Page 2 Fw : Letters , etc. To : talk @ dcd.ca From : Felix Cherniavsky < fenba@compusmart.ab.ca > Date : Fri , 08 Feb 2002 13:26:05 -0700 Subject : Fw : Letters , etc. > І > > They give me a profound sense of sadness when I read them , even when she > isn't talking about her troubles . She told the truth to Alice Rix : > " Many's the time I made up my face at the courtroom door . " Internally , > she was a mess , but the press and the spectators only saw an > inappropriately carefree woman . And she did that primarily for Theo , > although there was also an " in - your - face " quality about it . The Durrants never had much money because Papa could not or would > not find steady employment . Yet they faithfully sent Maud $ 15 every > month , which must have been an enormous sacrifice at times . In my youth I read all of J.D. Salinger's works ( most famous for > Catcher in the Rye ) and a phrase from one of them stuck in my mind . I > find it very appropriate for Isabella Durrant : " I find her terribly > brave . She might as well be dead and yet she keeps on living . " Things at Greenwood are changing , and my editor thinks they are > phasing out the trade department and switching everything over to > General Interest ( which means no bookstore placement ) . She has advised > me to look for another publisher because of this , so I am in the process > of trying to get an agent . I think I may have found one she wants to see the 2 published books and the proposal for the 3d -- but at any rate > my new project is on hold for the moment . I have Theo and the rest of > the Durrants to thank for saving me from a commitment that would be > essentially worthless moneywise . Ordinarily , I would have already > submitted a proposal by fall and would have a contract with Greenwood by > now . But I had trouble working up enthusiasm for a new project because > of my " involvement " with the Durrants and my reluctance to give them up > for another focus . So I procrastinated until recently and only just sent > off the proposal around the New Year . My editor says all those writers > who have signed contracts will find their books shunted over to General > Interest instead of Trade . We are having a combination winter blizzard and high March winds > here today . I had selected today as a personal day and a good thing : I > doubt I could get down my driveway with the drifts . I guess the kids > will have a snow day . - > Ginny Printed For : " Dance Collection Danse " < talk@dcd.ca >
