serene56: I'll be watching that Lucy Holmes vid myself later, thanks venere
Wish I hadn't serene. I found out that I never got to absorb the power of the mother
...that is, unlike most other little girls, I never had dolls in Italy as a young child. Apparently, it is by playing with dolls that girls 'introject' the mother's power and hence gain control over their mother.... So it seems I missed out on this really important!! 
Looking for the nearest couch...

Sorry thought you called me Looking for the nearest couch...
In response to: Hey folks, I'm finalising my proposal for a major writing project and I need to settle on something pretty smartly!...I have some ideas but I'd love to hear yours. We need to include a marketing package in the final draft, one which has wow factor written all over it, so I need to get it right, from the outset....no pressure!!
So...what type of book would you head for?
1. Novel(fiction)
2. Collection of short stories(fiction)
3. Reflections about the writer's life/travel/experiences
4. A tongue in cheek, humourous self-help book dealing with women's (mainly)mental health and well being, with writer's self-revelations thrown in...
5. Any others related to creative non fiction or fiction.
Many thanks and look forward to anyone's opinion if you get a chance.
any thoughts on e-books? Who buys them, or who prefers to buy hard copy books, but online? ...I buy many books online, but not e-books.

All of the above. Just can't get into Mills & Boon.
Can't pass an op shop without walking in to see what I haven't read, or want to read again. I have 3 bookcases full, a coffee table with books piles 6 deep, a lounge with just about as many on it, the mantle place lined with books plus heaps of boxes of books. And my daughter is giving me a couple more each week (she loves reading, too).
The books that give me the most grief are those that I can't put down until I have finished, too many long nights on those. You need a 'rest point' in a book somewhere along the line where the reader can put it down to do those important bits like sleep, housework(?), work.

Wow, that's fantastic, washu2...it seems that you pretty well read anything possibly worth reading. What a joy though...or do you have some fav type of books.
A very good idea of yours, to have some strategic break points along the way. A bit like ad breaks on television, except not so many,lol

Just think! You need one every week!

A self-help book on how to find someone to go out on a date with.

I have a true crime book here, it was given to me by a friend. I haven't read it yet it's called (Leadbelly true underworld crime) here in Australia. When I read it I will let you know what I think of it. Sounds nasty.

I've read a few Australian true crime books.
Chilling, but fascinating reading
Guess Picture Magazine gets my vote
