I just noticed that Anna replied a few times to her thread at the LP messageboards on June 21st. You can check it out
here. Here are a few quotes with some interesting tidbits.
"I typically stay away from fan fictions, but if they inspire people to write and offer a nice community, that can be a good thing."
"I just visited writing.com for the first time. Wow there is a ton on that site! It was fun to look around, but I was kind of overwhelmed by it all on the first visit! I can see how it would be difficult to be noticed there with so much going on. Would love to hear if anyone has anything else to chime in about their experience on that site, or others like it."
"Around draft 6 of my novel, I thought it was done, that there was nothing more that I could possibly improve on. Now I'm on draft 13 and so glad that it wasn't published at draft 6. Hopefully everything I have learned from working on this novel will make the writing process a little tighter on my next novel... maybe then it won't take me over five years to get my next novel written and revised!"
