Whoa!
That's excellent.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just emailed a partial and synopsis to my agent, who's eager to see what I've been working on this summer.
I'm askeert. I don't know what I'm going to do if there's an email in my inbox tomorrow saying it's a terrible idea, unmarketable and unsuited to my voice. As tough as this story has been to write so far, I'm growing fond of the characters. I want to follow them all the way to the big triumphal scene I've got planned for the denouement of Book 4. What I'm not confident about is whether I'm writer enough to do justice to the story.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Is this the story I was reading? It was good.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Yeah, it's the same one, though I just sent her the first three chapters, so it didn't include that scene.

I just sent the final draft of my book proposal to my agent. Why am I so nervous?

Well, if it's anything like my nervousness, it's "What if she hates it now that I've put so much love and effort into it?"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Deep breaths, Jilli. She'll love it!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Go, Jillli! I can't imagine that they won't love it.

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
Jilli, it is going to really really really be okay.
She's your partner in this, and she wants to sell your book and make you millions so she can have some of the millions.
And she's a nice lady.

Always Anti-fascist!
Sort of...well, I hate the word "blocked" but I guess I am.(It does make me feel like some dork in a beret flouncing around going "I cannot *work* in these conditions!" to talk about it that way, but I guess I've barely stopped writing in the past three years...it was bound to happen once in a while, right?) But it really makes me feel bad that the one thing going on in my life...kind of, isn't.
