Wow, Am, go you!
I got about 15k words too, and a story that I like well enough to try and finish it. I'm shooting for 80k and hoping. So, overall, I feel like it was a success.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Am, with the rockage. MOST excellent.

OK, a question. Not specifically writing related, but rather writer-related.
I need to send prezzies to my editor and her staff, my publicist, and my agent. Holiday stuff, but also an extra-special doodah for Jenn, the agent.
Everyone except the agent is taken care of; they're all slavish junkies for my ginger cake and they're each getting their own big pan of it.
The agent - to whom I need to send something truly wonderful, because it's also a thanks for the 2-book deal and making them lose the joint accounting clause - is tricky.
She's tiny (about 5 feet tall) and doesn't eat much in the way of sweets. In fact, say "chocolate" and she shudders, not pleasurably - she has romance writer clients and they all send her choc and she doesn't care for it. Ditto booze - no tolerance for the stuff. ANd sending her a book of any description would cause her to kill me with a long distance death ray.
I'm thinking something Buffyish. Action figure?
Help?

Action figure, or that book on Slayer Slang? Or the Firefly DVDs, if you're feeling generous?

Hey Deb, do you know what kinds of things she likes? I've been lusting after forcing jars and bulbs for quite a long time, though they're not the sort of thing I'd pick up for myself. Amazon has things like bonsai trees, forcing jars and bulbs, windowsill gardens, bamboo -- stuff she might be able to grow in her office or kitchen windowsill.
If you want to go buffy-themed, you might consider adding a soundtrack CD to the action figures.

I'm actually thinking of hunting down something signed - a shooting script or something, from Buffy proper (she's less of an Angel fan, although she does love Wesley).
Any ideas? E-Bay?

It's worth a shot, Deb.
