I offered people an gezegde

  Graham Greene

 is it any different to loaning a book to someone? There was a book in the US ( Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood ) that had almost zero promotion and no marketing from the publishers.

 In my twenties, it was so important for me to show people I had all these other books and these other sorts of writing in me, ... A lot of authors, if their first book is a success, they're terrified to write a second one. But in my case, since the first book wasn't considered a literary book, I was really determined to show people I could do other types of writing.

 Ten years ago people were asking me to do just about anything and everything. It's one thing to get offered a job but it's another to be able to actually do the job. I guess that's kind of what my thinking is. It'd be great to get offered something, but I want to be sure that I'm able to do it and do it well.
  Shannon Miller
