I'll have to go back and reread, Erin. I didn't make any notes at the time and now I can't remember if there was anything I thought could be a significant problem. To be honest, if I don't answer right away when you send me stuff, it's because there's nothing that jumps right out at me as being off in any way.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
What Sail said. I'll reread to be sure, though.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh, not so much proofing, guys -- I'm interested more in "Didja like the story?"
Sorry. Travel makes me stupid. And my neck hurts.

Oh, in that case, yup. But I'll reread anyway so I can give you a little more detail.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I've been writing drabbles too long. I'm straing at this paper that needs to be 750 words thinking to myself, "But I can make my point in 100 words or less!! This goes against my recent rules of writing!!!"

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

Done deal.
Three-book high drama, men and women, sex for miles, hiphop setting and clubs and love and mistreatment and remorse and a shooting and a suicide....
ita! Juliana! Get your club gear out, bebes. Daymond's flying me down to LA and setting me up with VIP all-access, and oh, by the way "you wanna take some girlfriends in, right?" j, we'll need to get you down to LA. Good thing fares are cheap; we'll set up a hotel for us.
The deal is looking all the way sweet, by the way. 50-50 down the line, including all subsidiary stuff. My agents are the leads on this; his guy, out in Hollywood, will be taking it to the studios, and possibly HBO.
The logline? "Think Sex in the City, but hiphop, from the mens' perspective."
We talk again tomorrow, 1 pm our time. That's when I bring up coverage for the time I'm writing the first 35K words.
Meep.
And this is going to be soooooooooooo good for the Kinkaids.

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?
Way to go, deb!!! That is FANTASTIC!

Did I mention that we're thinking "low" for the first two - $50K to $75K each?
I'll just be over here giggling incredulously in the corner.
