'Lies My Parents Told Me'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Well... it's how my book wound up canceled. My (very baby) editor and her immediate supervising editor both loved it. They gave it to the publisher, who hated it.
The publisher was VERY VERY WRONG about your book. Like a big wrong thing.
So trust me, love. This is a Very, Very Good Thing.
Meep!
I'd love to see Jilli on Stewart and Colbert. Or maybe taking #1 on "Countdown"(Christian Finnegan's not funny, Keith)
Oh Jilli, that is fabulous news!
Anyone who's interested in what a rejected partial looks like, I just posted over at my blog. [link] (It's in two parts.)
Poor little skating story that there's no market for. Boo, market.
Procrastination
Each of us is born with an unknown sacred mission,
which Death interrupts a day before it is finished.
Death always refuses us that last day.
"You got what everyone gets - a lifetime" she says. "It's not my fault you wasted the time you could have spent fulfilling your sacred mission"
Dedicated to Neil Gaiman's character "Death of the Endless".
Dedicated to Neil Gaiman's Death.
Er...what?!

I'm assuming the character Death, from The Sandman. You know, the iconic friendly goth girl? Big hair, swirly eyeliner, ankh necklace?
Oh. Okay. Just so long as it is not an announcement of recent news, or a statement of intent....
Yeah, maybe his most popular character. (The Sandman may be the titular title of the comic, but Death is the one who is so popular she became a cliche in Goth clubs for a while, and Goth girls stopped dressing like her. OK, maybe some of his non comic book characters are more popular.) I stole the line "You got what everyone gets - a lifetime" from Gaiman's Death. She uses it several times, once to a baby who complains "that is all I get", once to a guy who boasts of having survived Millenia. I think I'll edit to make it clearer.
