First of all, she's referring to her short story book, right? I read it. A lot of the prefaces to the stories read like this:
[Insert name of famous editor or author] rejected this story when I was still unknown. Bet they're sorry now! Nyah nyah!
It got on my nerves. Not to mention that they stories weren't even that good. The main guy in Celandine did very little besides angsting about how the main girl didn't want him.
Okay that is proof the editor sucks, 'cause a story that evokes a strong emotional responce, positive OR negative, is the best story to publish. I recall a short story in a dragonlance collection, and it made me feel horrible, and I loved it.
Agreed. I sobbed into my pillow after reading HP5, but it's my second favourite of the series.
