Jilli, I know. Believe me, I know. Waiting sucks.
But I'm betting yours come out fine.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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

Aaaand just heard back from the nice agent lady! (Her company is re-structuring itself, which is part of why she hasn't been in touch.) She says the sample chapters are generally solid, that no, they DON'T suck, and that she is going to have some suggestions for some minor re-organizing of the text. Which she will send to me as soon as she can figure out exactly what those suggestions are.
So, I feel better. I do not know what I would do without you people to flail and whine at.

Yes'm. I just feel so ... needy. And whiny. And ridiculous, but oh well.

You feel needy and whiny?
laughing maniacally Sorry, bebe. I have the monopoly on that for the next little while, unless I climb into a bathtub with a fifth of tequila and a razor blade first.
Your stuff is good. I figured they might want some simplifying and possibly restructuring some layouts, but it totally didn't suck. And as you write more, it's going to flow even more easily.

But you're not going to do that, because being constantly summoned back from the afterlife so I could yell at you would probably get tiring.
But yeah, I know. I hope things get better for you, and very soon.

I'll be fine. It's cool.
Did she say when she was likely to send you suggestions? And do you feel the need to flail in the interim?

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

Huddle in my corner! Me too!

Very Soon. So, probably by end of next week.
And do you feel the need to flail in the interim?
Mebby. I'm going to try and channel the flailing into writing the next GCS lesson, because, oooh, I really should post a new one.
Huddle in my corner! Me too!
Again, I wish we lived closer to each other. We could go out for coffee and freak out at each other. It would be fun.

Always Anti-fascist!
and I'm freaking out because I feel that nobody will Read Me Ever Again...that what looked like a beginning was really fluke-a-rama and I might as well twiddle my thumbs as go on with any of the crap I'm working on.
