Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You will be sharing your pancakes with me, right?

Only if you can beat me at hand-to-hand combat.

Okay, but no thumb-wrestling. Arm-wrestling until the back of somebody's fist is buried in a syrrupy pancake and the flatware goes flying? Oh yeah.

I just got rejected by my dream agency, only 24 hours after sending in my query.

Remind me why I should go ahead and send in my Kensington submission and my Golden Heart entry, not to mention move on to the next agent on the list, because if the Knight Agency, which as far as I could tell was the most perfectest best-matching agency for this book and for me is all, "Although your project sounds interesting, we unfortunately do not feel it is right for us at this time," why should anyone who ISN'T the most perfectest best-matching thing ever be any more impressed?

Because you're willful and stubborn and attack your career with the ruthlessness of ten rottweilers.

I can take you.

Bring it, bee-yotch!

OK, there is that. Even if I'm a pouty, disgruntled, and confused rottweiler pack at the moment.

Um...No power in the'verse can stop you? (Not crazy about FF but that quote rules.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Yep, I like that quote. Too bad there's only maybe 50 agents in the 'verse that can rep me, and a dozen or so print publishers who might theoretically buy the book.

That's the scary part of the process--knowing how finite the list is, and that if all of them say no, I'll have no choice but to put the book under the bed and hope the market changes or I become a big enough name that my editor will be THRILLED to hear I have early work ready to polish and publish.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I just got to snuggle a 3 week old baby. He burped and fell asleep on my shoulder. Second time in a couple of months I've had the pleasure of cuddling sleeping baby.

I'm a puddle of mush now.
