Harmer Monkey is awesome.
Jilli, that's your Fbook stream, not theirs. Also, having a wordcount to post *is* awesome.
eee. you guys, I got a fan mail this morning. This is a first.
Do you see any goats around? No, because I sacrificed them.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Eeee! That's awesome, Sox!
Jilli, your Harmer Monkey friend needs to shut it.

I got a fan mail this morning.
Awesome. Fun!
I turned around 'Sarah' and sent it off to another place. Well they didn't want the manuscript just a description of the story, so technically I didn't send it off yet.
I picked a market for the other short I'm wanting to send out, but I need to edit it some more first. Maybe this weekend.

Excellent!

It was nice. I was a little nervous about this story. If you don't subscribe to Daily Science Fiction, it will be up next week on their site and I'll link it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I got a fan mail this morning.
Awesome! And well deserved, it's a great story.

Always Anti-fascist!
I was gonna say I never got one, but that's not true. It's just that the book review I got it for contained kinky crip sex, warm chocolate, and a few other things one might euphemistically call "hot-button"(huh, huh, huh) topics. One day the fans will love me for me.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Yes, they will, erika.
Sox! That's fantastic!

Because books.
I don't get some agents. One I follow on Twitter is SO specific about what kind of stories she likes and what she doesn't -- right now, she's "still not interested in zombies or angels" when it comes to YA.
And I get that, on a personal level, but you're supposed to be looking for AUTHORS, not books. Authors you can keep working with, who can tell a story convincingly no matter what the subject is. And if zombies and angels are selling in YA (I have no idea anymore, just saying), isn't it short-sighted to pass over those books entirely?
She's a little weird.
