Yeah...he was supposed to be like, too nice. Actually he seemed like the kind of quiet man who could drive someone like...my friend to levels of hysteria trying to get a reaction from him. It's a good thing I'm healthier than she is. ;)
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
MememeMEEEEEEEEmememe...
My agent would like the following:
A. The first fifty pages of the fourth series book, Cruel Sister. Status: I have 42 pages.
B. Synopsis for Cruel Sister. Status: ready.
C. Blurbs (one or two paragraphs each) for potential books 5 and 6. Status: songs for books chosen, blurbs will take maybe twenty minutes.
I just pinged her to ask if she'd like to see what I've got. Now that the third book, Matty Groves, is officially accepted by St. Martins, we can start the pitch process and from where I'm sitting, the sooner the better.

I would like to publically thank Deb for the wonderful feedback she's giving me. In addition to the excellent practical help, she's helping me finally trust myself as a mainstream writer. That was the biggest hurdle.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Go Deb!
I emailed the contest coordinator to express my concerns and got a very nice email back, saying that I shouldn't have been marked down for first person, and she'll definitely keep a closer eye on this judge in the future. I've also written my thank you notes to the coordinator and judges to mail out today, including a perfectly polite though distant one to the problem judge.
That felt good to cross off the to do list.

Susan, that's a very good way of handling that situation. If the judge has that deep an issue, they need to know about it.
Your current Anna chapter is next up in my queue!
