From Madame Agent re: the Synopsis From Hell:
"You done got yourself into a pickle, Miss Barb-- this is a Big Book. And a series."
Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

Because books.
Which one is this?
And hey, are you coming tomorrow? And to hang out after?

“Not dead yet!”
This is for Haunted, the ghost YA, which has turned into Something More.
And yes, definitely coming tomorrow and presumably hanging out after-- have any definitive plans been made?

Just going back to the hotel. I'm going to be too exhausted for much else, I think. Hanging, chatting, possibly drinking a little, snacking.

Er, yep-- I just went back and checked in F2F and saw that was the plan. ::headdesk:: This is what happens when I get all head down and slightly craxy synopsis rewriting.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Have fun, wimmin! I'll be there in spirit(s) -- raise a glass for yourselves, and imagine I'm there clinking with you!

Workshop excellent. Head boom. Out of verbs.

Good to hear the workshop was excellent!
Cog comes ever closer to querying. I have a terrible synopsis that will have to be redone and I have a list of problems to address in revision 2.
