'Time Bomb'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Would it make any sense for you to write about the things you've done as if ita (just to pick an example out of my hat) had done them? Can you get a list of accomplishments written, and then take a step back to say "Wow, some of these are really cool" without automatically discounting them because you don't find the person who did them very interesting?
(For what it's worth, I find you very interesting, but I'm not sure that helps you write the book.)
Allyson, so let someone who does find you interesting - my geuess would be, that's pretty much all of us - write about you.
Me, I'm about to kiss a long-preserved personal anonymity goodbye, with a long email to Joel Selvin tomorrow. Unless I chicken out. Which I won't.
Sorry. Enigmatic. It concerns the inspiration for the Kinkaids, and a show Selvin aired tonight. The time has come, the walrus said, to talk of many things....
Wish me some serious courage tomorrow. I'll need it.
edit: cancel the courage. I wrote the damned email, and sent it. Aw jeez.
It's Monday, May Day, and New Drabble Day!
Challenge #107 (describe a character by the contents of his/her _____) is now closed.
Challenge #108 is The Big Reveal. (I admit, it was inspired entirely by Deb's big scary e-mail of yesterday.)
I'm too competitive. I was just trying to drive up the price on that auction that Betsy linked to for the mystery author critique, and now am winning again, but at a higher price than I originally envisioned, with the poverty and all...but I'm posting about it because, in case I win? She'll want to see a five-page synopsis, which I'll have to write. What should I keep in mind?
erika, if you win, yelp. I'll go over it with you - is there a deadline, if you do win the bid?
Luck, then, Deb.
(Which I typo'd orginally as "lick, Deb." Which kinda wasn't the message I wanted to send, but hee.)
I'm not sure...just a bunch of stuff about payment clearing and such. I think when you win you set things up with Cherry Author Lady, but I'm not completely sure.
Inspired by deb, I'm going to get plucky and see if I can get a blurb from Sarah Vowell.
Go, Allyson!
Allyson, I just had this perfect mental image of you and Ms. Vowell, just hanging and talking and getting progressively chattier as the conversation gets cooler and cooler.
