HQN has had Thirteen, as a full, since... May, I think? But that's a different sitch altogether. I submitted it based on conversation with an editor at last year's National. Lovely Agent has put in a couple of messages to see if they'll get back to her before Armageddon.
I know, world in peril and we have to work together. This is my last office romance, I'll tell you that.

Because books.
One thing I will give myself credit for is that when I was acquiring, I never kept *agented* material that long. Mostly because I knew they would call up and harangue me, but still.

They never threatened to show photos of you in Cancun, did they? Because that's how Ari gets Dana Gordon.

I've found I've started thinking about the plot of the sequel to my current story. I suppose that isn't too bad since I can refine the seeds that are already there. One thing for sure, different main character.

I thought I edited myself into a continuity error yesterday, but it looks like I'm okay. With is good, because my wife delights in catching me in a continuity error. I thing she got me two times in the rough draft.
Actually editing has a terrifying capacity for the generation of continuity errors. Especially for stuff that shows up like twenty chapters later.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I feel like I should give you all my number and you can text me at regular intervals to say, "are you writing? WHY AREN'T YOU WRITING?"

Only if you promise to do the same to me.

I'm rather dubious of the section of dialogue I just inflicted upon my word processor. At least this isn't supposed to be the final revision.
