"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I have a really nice two-book deal with HarperTeen! For my book about a girl with a zombie boyfriend!
Amy, that's so fantastic! Huge congrats.

Yay, Barb!
It's a good day. I declare chocolate and porn for everyone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I say Allyson's Sam sells next, so we can have a trifecta.

I hope so too. I like hearing about all the success.

I like hearing about all the success.
So very much so, yes.

I have an awkward question. Is it reasonable to just kinda poke a Beta Reader you haven't heard anything from in a month or a half or so just to know that they are still, you know, out there? I don't want to push people to hurry, because they are doing me a favor, but if it's just unreadable for them or something, well, I'd like to know.
My fear is that it would come across as pushy or make people feel bad, when "Dude, I'm just too busy" is perfectly okay. I just get worried that I'm not hearing anything because they don't want to tell me negative stuff, and I need to know about the negative.

That seems like an awful long time, Gud. Is it an exchange, or was this just someone who said, "Hey, I'll read it when I get a chance"?

No, not an exchange, hence the not wanting to be pushy. It's the "I'll read it when I get a chance" scenario. So, you know, I'd be happy with "I haven't had a chance, maybe after the Holiday season", or "I'm just not going to have time." I'd just like to know it's not from holding back.
I'm sort of 1 of 3 on exchanges.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yay, Amy ! The idea of zombie teen romance makes me happy.
Eta: if it's me, Gud, I just haven't been able to get to it but I still hope to...
