Albert Tucher replied to Raymond Embrack's discussion Adventures in Self Plagiarism"I do it all the time. Aside from the creative boost it gives me, it also helps me maintain continuity and consistency in my series."
Dana King replied to Raymond Embrack's discussion Adventures in Self Plagiarism"Sure do. I never throw anything away. I have one full-length and two aborted novels that have no potential on their own, but there are bits in each I may well use if opportunity permits.
Now that you got me thinking about it, i should…"
"I should add that I usually delete starts that did not work."
"I've rewritten finished novels, sometimes two or three times. It looks as though I'm about to do it again. Mind you, I hate wasting the time to rewrite a full-length novel, but when something doesn't work it nags at me."
H.A.L. Wagner replied to Raymond Embrack's discussion Adventures in Self Plagiarism"I enjoy doing just that. I started a manuscript with a character I had written before. The character's voice didnt turn out to be something I wanted this character to be so I rewrote it creating a new character. That novel, Blood…"
Grant McKenzie replied to Raymond Embrack's discussion Adventures in Self Plagiarism"I wrote the first draft of Angel With A Bullet over 20 years ago as my first attempt at becoming a published author.

Raymond Embrack replied to Michael C. Jacobs's discussion Altman's The Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould. Yea or Nay?"Next question: Altman's subversive version of Chandler (set in L.A.) or the most faithful adaptaion of the Big Sleep (Robert Mitchum late 70s) but it's set in London?"
Raymond Embrack replied to Michael C. Jacobs's discussion Altman's The Long Goodbye with Elliot Gould. Yea or Nay?"Love the movie. Altman as his peak. It was a 1970s movie that has since become as classic as the novel. Who is still offended by this picture's violation of Chandler?"
Raymond Embrack replied to David DeLee's discussion It's September 1st"Now finishing the first new Peter Surf novel in years to put out in October. Putting out a new edition of The Black Opera this month. This month put out a new cover for my gangster novel El Morocco. Between now and year's end…"
Raymond Embrack replied to Victoria Dougherty's discussion Comic Relief"I think a hard-bitten thriller needs hard-bitten humor. But then I think no writing is complete without humor. Although it's hard to spot the humor in a James Ellroy novel..."
Raymond Embrack replied to John Dishon's discussion Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher"You're right. Today Liam Neeson would be the go-to guy for Jack Reacher."
Raymond Embrack replied to John Dishon's discussion Tom Cruise to play Jack Reacher"Actors in Jack Reacher's height range: Steven Seagal, the Rock, Ray Stevenson of "Kill the Irishman".....pick one. "

Susan said… - I liked Cuba Libre as well. Not sure I can narrow it down to one book. Early on I read Freaky Deaky and Kill Shot and loved them both. Also loved Rum Punch. But my most recent favorite is Mr. Paradise. Great characters. I love how he shares the characters' thoughts. He's a master at it.

- Hi Raymond, anyone with a Get Shorty life-soundtrack is a friend of mine! Love that Elmore Leonard! What's your favorite book of his (besides Get Shorty)?
