Got my first request from a literary agent for a full manuscript for Nutmeg today! (Technically, it was an agent's assistant). Has anyone any experience with Writers House? She also wants me to tell her a little about myself...I assume favourite colours, and size and weight of dogs won't do. (Suddenly confronted with the realisation that I am such a boring sod). Anyway, special thanks to blue jellybaby ~A.J. Lyle~ sandybays and dwarf2012 who are lovely, encouraging, generous people (and they actually read the whole thing) Thank you so much Aknowledgements page, here you come...you know, after they agree to represent me, find a publisher, make an actual book etc. |
That's amazing news, my dear! Congrats! |
HUGE congratulations That's really fantastic news! I'm not really sure I can offer advice on what to tell her about yourself, perhaps the amount of time you've been writing, if you have anything else published? |
Well done girlBe yourself. |
Hey Vaun how you doing? I haven't spoke to you in a while and I know you're busy but just wanted to check in I miss them! |
Final week of work before holidays (and grading ). Then finally some much needed WDC time . I just stopped by to thank joanne4ever for my spankingly pretty custumicon, ~A.J. Lyle~ for the achingly sweet merit badge and GabriellaR45 for the scrumptious awardicon...an embarrassment of riches! Thank you - it really means a lot I have managed to finish the first chapter of what is inspiringly called 'Nutmeg 2'. Not thrilled with it yet, but it's something |
It was blue jellybaby who gifted me the afore mentioned spankingly pretty custumicon. You think I'd get my lovely sponsor's name right! ...it's been a long day. |
Can't wait to read the first chapter of Nutmeg! I'll try and stop by tonight for it |
Thanks so much for the lovely review and all the stars . I was really nervous about posting it. It's strange to be back at the start of something again. Speaking of new beginnings..,heard you got yourself a new pad. Can't wait to see it when Mariella's Book Show will be interviewing you there...might as well think big for 2013 |
Welcome to THE "Mainstream Novel Workshop Forum" ! |
Bestest Wednesday ever! Thank you blue jellybaby ~A.J. Lyle~ and johnny1209 for lovely Merit Badges (plural!). AND first chapter of Nutmeg won first prize in
Can't wait to finish boring work stuff, so I can spend quality time with the quality peeps in WDC. Love you all lots like Jelly Tots. P.S. Happy All Hallows Eve everyone! |
Uuurgh! Possibly the worst thing I've ever written. I hate synopses. Any advice welcome - I've never done one before. It reads as dry as cardboard.
