Whoohoo, Deb! Rock the writing!
Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Looks like I'm on for the collaboration. Nice big business plan email awaiting me when I got home.
le WOOOOOOOOOOT! Because money and fun and challenge, all good, but more PR to get Kinkaids out? Priceless.

Because books.

So cool! What *is* the plan? Are you going to do sample chapters and then let his agent shop them? And another trip to New York! Wheeee!

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
So awesome, deb. This is so deserved.

Thanks, all. One of the things that cracked me up was a slightly diffident "my hope - I know it may not be possible - is to have the book's first draft done by summer of 2007, is that a problem?"
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! To quote Tweety Bird, "He don't know me very well, do he?" Dude, give me the info, I'll have samples for you faster than you can read 'em, and they'll be superb.
No, I really don't have a problem saying, "this is what I do, and I am very very very good at it."
Talking to Marlene and BB about it later, but one of the biggies is my name on the cover. I'm not going to ghost this; that's one thing I was prepared to dig my heels in about. I want a cover credit, because for one thing, I intend to be very proud of the finished work, and for another, Kinkaids selling tool. Luckily, he appears to be fine with that.
So I don't know whether this is a fee, points, or what. In terms of selling it, this is a slamdunk, considering who he is.
Right now, the working title in my own head, first suggestion I came up with, is Ten Women, Two Eyes: One Man's Look at the Women Who Shaped His world, by Daymond John, as told to Deborah Grabien.
In other news, back to Cleveland Rocks.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Congrats, Deb.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, deb!! That is so fantastic!

That's an awesome title. In addition to being, of course, rocking good news.

I just love the "I'd really like a first draft by summer 2007".
suhNERK. Daymond, honey, I was thinking more of, oh, say, Halloween 2006.
