I haven't...Thanks for the QueryDrill tip, Anna. I haven't heard of that before, but it sounds like a useful service.<br /><br />I think the depth of the Potter world is what makes it so appealing. If you look at all the stories that have lived well beyond the original books (Narnia, Lord of the Rings, etc.), they all seem to have a certain tangible quality. You feel like you could visit that world, learn the rules, get to know the languages, experience the culture. It took JKR years working on back story, characters, and details before she wrote the first page, but clearly it was time well spent.Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690250519299085752.post-84443485890123044732014-07-16T19:52:47.150-07:002014-07-16T19:52:47.150-07:00I watched the Harry Potter marathon too!

Even after the number of times I've seen them, there's still so much fun in those movies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690250519299085752.post-81425177268999002432014-07-16T15:22:11.186-07:002014-07-16T15:22:11.186-07:00My husband bought me DEFIANCE for Christmas, but s...My husband bought me DEFIANCE for Christmas, but somehow it got buried in my TBR pile so I haven't read it yet. Too many books, too little time! You're making me want to sit down and read HP again too. Usually the urge to do that hits me full force every fall, you know, when it's Halloween and pumpkin season. The perfect time of year for all things magical!<br /><br />I hope you're recovering well and enjoy your extra time to write! Good luck with that query as well! :)Erin L.

I went and bookmarked the site for the next time I'm querying. Hope your submission yields some great advice! I've been working through a HP reread over the past months and am about to start the final book. They just get better and better every time you read them! :DJaime Morrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03023932422477544525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-690250519299085752.post-73779044066493078322014-07-16T06:24:04.556-07:002014-07-16T06:24:04.556-07:00I couldn't agree more about Harry Potter.

We're listening to book 6 in the car for the umpteenth time, and I keep listening to the same section again and again as different kids need rides, and don't want to skip ahead. I'm amazed at the way it continues to be interesting. I know how bored I am of my own stuff after reading it that often. JK Rowling is a genius. <br /><br />I hope you recover quickly, and yet get lots of writing done in the meantime.Melanie Crousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10353025724182677932noreply@blogger.com
