I think many writers would give up if they weren't compelled to write. As for making changes, I believe it would have to be a balance between artistic integrity and desire to see your book in print.<br /><br />I have never heard of Dan Hill, but the books sound interesting.<br /><br />KimKim Bullockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100854132576647442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-20270209349863923762010-06-16T14:32:16.681-05:002010-06-16T14:32:16.681-05:00Hi Kim,

It takes a thick skin and a lot of humility to have to respond to editor's requests to re-work and make changes. At some point an author must wonder if it's still their own work? <br /><br />Have yet to order Catherine Hall's book at the library will do so; am reading, "I am My Father's Son" by Dan Hill, the singer, song-writer. Very revealing as I have met both the father and the son. Dan's writing is completely open and honest. The book is hard to put down. It provides insight into how the Black people feel when subjected to white prejudice. Dan is also the author of "The Book of Negroes". <br /><br />Thanks for keeping me in the loop as I enjoy your blogs and find them insightful and educational.<br /><br />Love, PaulaPaula Niallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08253737356799042987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2967179224372520114.post-40245368786512293362010-06-16T01:54:00.798-05:002010-06-16T01:54:00.798-05:00Captivating interview, Kim.
