Because books.
That's a great pitch, Allyson. So cool that you found someone so totally on your wavelength.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
That's a wonderful pitch, and I think it nails your writing's style and appeal.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
That's fantastic, Allyson! Even if I didn't know you, I'd buy the book on the strength of that pitch.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Victor, that looks damned good. Grabbing and beautifully laid out.

Who? moi??
Allyson, one other thing that you would have to pay for. AFTER the copy edits are done and IF you then decide you want to change something, the cost of that is on you. A friend of mine suddenly decided to change her hero's name. When she found out what it would cost to reset the entire book, she left it alone.
Remember, this is AFTER the publisher has said that's it. So make any changes during the copy edit phase.

Rain drabble. Just some stuff that I haven't been able to get out of my head all week.
October 2, 2002
Rain drips down my dorm room window. The windows are already rattling, but they’ve rattled during every storm this year – I picked this dorm because I love old buildings.
My friends are down the hall, online, watching the “worst-case scenario” animation of the city flooding. I told them that this one can’t do that, but didn’t even convince myself. The Weather Channel is on mute now.
The sky is an eerily pink color. “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight.” I leave the blinds open and the TV on, grab my teddy bear off his shelf, and try to sleep.
