Deb, the synopsis is great. (As is the rest, but you've heard that from me already!)

The Great Write Way, Chapter Two: Twice upon a time...
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
I'm up over 12K words, and just beginning the murder scene.
Drawing on backstage memories of Madison Square Garden from 36 years ago, and trying to update it, is genuinely weird.
Unbroken
She said she’d come.
Step, step, hop. Step, step, hop.
She’s only right across the street.
Step, step, hop. Step, step, hop.
How could she forget?
Step, step, hop. Wait. Okay, car’s gone.
I don’t care if she got busy.
Step, step, hop. Step, step, hop.
Didn’t she know how important it was to me?
Step, step, hop. Step, step, hop.
It was the big Thanksgiving Day play. The only play I’ve ever been in!
Step, step, hop. Step, step, step, leap.
She never does anything important with me. I. Hate. Her.
Jump. Jump. Stomp.
There, missed all the cracks!
(I don't know how universal the ritual is, but when I was a kid there was a saying, "step on a crack and break your mother's back.")
Deb, it sounds fantastic.
elbows right in...
I'm looking for advice on cover letter writing, and I thought, what better place to come to than some of the best writers I know!
I'm looking to switch directions, and I'm frightened that my cover letters are coming off as sounding immature and "good god hire me right now plzkthx".
Email in the profile is fine, or if we want to discuss here that would be great (I don't want to hijack the thread without permission!)
Rewards may be baked, if required.
Ailleann, what I've been told about cover letters is it's an opportunity to build yourself up even more as well as better define what kind of position you're looking for. Be confident but not cocky. Apparently you're allowed to tell them how fucking cool you are, because when they meet you, they'll find out you're not actually a prick. Or something like that.
Ailleann, I'd be happy to help you as soon as my back improves, which my doctor thinks it will, though she can't yet say if that'll happen in 24 hours or more like 10 days.
I didn't final in the contest. I am, however, friendly online with someone who double-finaled. Time to practice my graciousness.
I think I may have another detective story in mind...lurching out of the gate, but hey... I would like my process to be more of a process and less like a Cordy-vision.
Hey! Do not diss the Cordy-like visions!

But I do not have a Wesley to explain it as it happens. Upside, I don't puke like Cordy.
