I agree - you haven't quite hit it. It's close, though. I think there's going to be a moment, a point at which the woman in your head/the woman in the chair/the you that's out there dancing and seducing hot men all collide and then? Well. You'll hit it, whang in the gold.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

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

Anyone feel like beta-ing a rough draft of a synopsis? It's 6 doublespaced Courier 12 pages.

Susan, reading now. I have some comments - will be sending shortly. The hook is perfect, BTW.

Got it--thanks! I think your suggestions are right on target. Believe it or not, I'd already replaced one "devastated." It's amazing how taking frequent breaks to talk to a baby in a bassinet three feet from your computer prevents you from realizing you're repeating yourself!

Oh, excellent. Thing is, since one of the things they're looking for is voice, you want to make sure you don't sound too cautious, too narrative. But there were really only those few places where it caught at me. The rest was just fine.

I'm glad you asked, deb. I was feeling all fidgety, but I figured, holiday weekend. I was trying not to be too pushy about it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh, ooops! The holiday was feeling like a weekend, not a Monday.
A thousand apologies.
