You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Because books.
I dealt with a lot of children's editors who didn't want to read books with animals that talk.
Editors and agents don't have exactly the same agenda, though. Both of them should be looking for authors to work with, rather than individual books, but editors are often restricted by what else is on a house's list, or what type of books they do well with historically (chains would be unlikely to buy, say, a book poetry anthology from a house that usually does celeb bios and romance).
Agents, though, should be looking for authors with talent, full stop, even if the particular story they're working on right now isn't their favorite thing ever.

Written? Kitten! is fantastic. Why yes, I am going to start using it.
Sooo, there IS a Russian edition of Gothic Charm School! My editor confirmed it, and is trying to get a couple of copies for me. Whee!

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
