ing"
Joan wrote in longhand. It took
her q year and nine months. "Just
a year longer than to have a baby,
she laughs. She wanted to title 1t
Beauty for Beast" but the publish
ers said no. They were afraid peo-
pie would think 1t was an animal
story.
Now that she's written a book
titled, "How to Be Attractive" Joan
says she finds it rather embarras-
sing. For there was the time, fol
instance, she went shopping ir
Westwood Village with chr hair In
curriers', no makeup, and wearing Q
snood and pajamas.
"A woman walked up to me ailo
Naid she recognized my voice. She
said she hoped to sell a lot of copies
of my book. She was the owner
of a book store down the street.
expected her to say, Why don't you
find out yourself"
Joan said she started thinking
about the book two years ago. She
couldn't decide whether to write
about raising children-she's the
mother of three-a cook book or 6
book of beauty hints. Finally she
decided on the latter.
But I'm still going to write those
other two some day." she says.
Actual writing of the book was
strictly unorthodox. First thing she

cid, Joan said, was to figure out the
chapter headings. Then the sub
chapters. Then the illustrations.
Then, she said, she started writing.
"And no cracks, please" she
laughed, "about my deciding on the
cover of the books jacket before 1t
was written"

her secretary. But that. didn't work.
So she wrote the entire book In
longhand. The first draft came
back with note from the publisher.
It was very good; the publisher said,
but 1t was too short. Would she
write several thousand more words,
please.
80 I wrote and wrote some more
and finally the publisher sent me
the galley proofs. BY the length Of
them, I thought I had out-written

And then the book almost didn't
get printed. Joan said she mailed

APT ADVICE
Some Of Joans advice to the la
dies on how to attract men: Never
publicly correct man-for his man
ners, his English or his opinions.
Never break a date for later and
more attractive invitation. Don't
lie to a man. Refuse to answer,
edit, or even evade, but avoid the
lie direct. 1t catches up with you.
"Put your mother complex in
moth balls and let the man run the
date he has planned for you. You'll
be surprised how much fun 1t is.
Make requests. Don't issue orders.
Avoid sarcasm like the plague. Men
hate 1t; they never forgive 1t in a
woman"
