Hey y'all. I thought it was time to do some updates.
What I'm reading:
I was lucky enough to get my hands on an ARC of Matt Kirby's book THE CLOCKWORK THREE.
It was so good. You know, one of those books that makes me jealous of his way with words. I'm proud to call Matt a friend. So I can track him down and toilet paper his house.
Some of you have been asking what the status is with my book. We are currently at Defcon 4.
Defcon 1: Find an Agent.
Defcon 2: Revist with Agent.
Defcon 3: Wait to submit to Editors.
Defcon 4: Blood turns to acid because the stupid clock is not ticking away fast enough, and even though you've been waiting for years already, you swear this time, the wait will kill you, so you spend most days trying not to send crazy-a** emails to your agent, demanding to know why he doesn't have the power to speed up time, and perhaps as incentive, you should open a vein and bleed acid blood on everyone...
Defcon 5: Submit to Editors. Or the world blows up. It's fifty-fifty.
Get Your First Page Critiqued, and Meet Some Authors
If you have an interest in the publishing world or writing in general, you probably have heard how important the first page is.
Well, this Saturday, you can have your first page critiqued by a nationally published author... and raise money to provide needy children with books!
I had my first page critiqued last year, and now I have an agent. *
*above statement was not FDA approved, and results may or may not be typical.
Anywho, you can come for the day, or evening, or both. Click here for more info and to register.
Whew. I'm off to Lagoon (the illegitimate love-child of Disneyland and the State Fair) with Sam and the kids, because I got to thinking that it's been a while since I puked my lungs out. Wish us luck.
