That's awesome, Barb!
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

If it means "sells like Twilight," it's the best description ever.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wonderful-sounding review, Barb! Much proposal~ma for more reactions like that.
Congrats on finishing the main revisions, Gud! I hope the submission stage leads to great things.

Definite yay! (I can't wait to hear what the plot threads are...)

Synopizing is hard. Already, I feel like I've left so, so much out of my synopsis and it's still over five pages long.

“Not dead yet!”
Synopses can be the devil's own. I just finished mine and it's clocking in at just over five full pages. I'd like to get it to five or under, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. It's more important to be able to show beginning, middle, and end in a way that makes sense.
