Oooh, thanks for the editing, Deb. It's amazing how one can screw things like that up when one is writing with her eyes closed.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

BWAH! Seriously, your instinct for this stuff is right on the money; you'll notice the edits are purely cosmetic, and don't touch the heart of what you're saying.
Eyes closed, or not...

Allyson! Congratulations!

Tim's advice was:
Allyson Beatrice grew up in blah blah. She didn't always have purple hair. Then talk about how you came out to LA and got invovled with fandom. Tried to save a spaceship while working for mad scientists who do the same thing, but in real life. GET ON IT.

Heh, good advice, Allyson. Nifty blurb!

What is even happening?
Heh. I just remembered to ask Scott about Creature Double Feature. I just went up to him, pointed my finger in his face, and said, "Creature Double Feature! Sunday or..."
A wave of disgust crossed his face.
"SATURDAYS! What kind of amateur question is that. It was Saturdays, and it could have been on at noon, but I think it was 1:00."

Allyson, good advice from Tim, but that's more of a full bio - I think what the agent wants is the blurb.
Save the LA sotry for the full one.

Are you serious? Saturday? Really? I was like, seven years old when that was on channel 56. MOTHRA!

Oh god. THEY'LL WANT MORE?
hee.
I'm working on a short outline.
Deb, should I three-hole punch this and send it off as a manuscript with the bio, outline, and source list included as part of that package?
Or should I just punch the manuscript and have the outline, sourcelist, and bio as separate pieces?

He was less disgusted when he realized it was someone else asking. He's got ~10 years on you, anyhow.
