Liese, that's actually a fascinating take and if I was going to take this YA, I think I'd seriously consider it. But I think I'm really leaning towards making it adult, making it a bit gothic (Southern, no less, with setting it in New Orleans) and giving it a touch of paranormal with the great psychological underpinnings that the story lends itself to.

I have no idea if I have the chops to pull this off, but we'll see.

So last night's sleep was filled with dreams where Matthew Gray Gubler was helping me write the Dorian story by drawing dinosaur creatures with glasses. I told him I didn't write fanciful dino stories, he told me to roll with it.

My subconscious: subtle, it ain't.

Hee! Love it.

IOwritingN: I have to come up with a blurb that Adrienne can use in the pitch for the new YA proposal I just finished a couple weeks ago.

I love writing, synopses are hard, but not bad, all things considered, but the blurb is my Waterloo.

yay blurb!

Cooling a Fevered Planet manuscript out to Betas. Barb, send me synopsis and I'll see what i can do on blurb.

Insent Gar. Thanks.

Barb, forgot to ask min and max word limits. Sent a first sentence. Need that range to go on.

It just has to be something short and punchy-- 3-4 sentences. An elevator pitch on steroids, if you will. I'm playing with something right now as well.

Gar, backflung and damn, dude-- that was a rockin' first sentence.
