You know, you're absolutely right about the fruitcake--my mother-in-law makes a wonderful fruitcake. Although fruitcake will never be a favorite of mine, hers is fantastic. It's essentially a pound cake with fruit and nuts in it. Yum. And the book funeral idea gave me a chuckle. Although I've had one novel and one novella published, there are at least three books dead and buried in storage right now. Maybe I should have a funeral for them. I haven't written any fiction in a while, but I plan to get back to it eventually. I'll have to check out Mary's site--thanks for the heads up. Thanks for posting, Liz.

And to think I happened upon this site because of the "fruitcake" portion. Personally, I love fruitcake and feel it gets a totally unjustified rap. You just need a good recipe. But I'm also a writer, of success only in the newsletter/magazine sector; no books yet. So I'm inspired by your success! Another writer, Mary Patrick Kavanaugh, has been so <a href="http://mydreamisdeadbutimnot.com/" rel="nofollow"> frustrated with rejection</a> she started a site for those of similar mind, whose books have been rejected time and again by publishers. In fact, she's having a funeral for her un-published book. Must be the first time there's been a funeral ceremony for a book! So interesting!
