First of all,
HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY, RED!!!!!!
*hisses at hellhounds* *dives under couch*
Ordered mine this past weekend--it should be here any moment.
I think the Pit needs one big {{{hug.}}} I like the aspirational quote, but unfortunately, I feel like all three at various times. Like today, I got a complimentary note on my query by a big-league agent, only to be followed with the inevitable pass. Oh, and two other passes as well.
{{{AO}}} I agree with Red. You're a gorgeous writer and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Sorry about the toe. Apply ice asap.
{{{Tri}}} You're not a bum.
{{{Mario}}} Those women sound terrible--good riddance.
Cat, I think every book should have some semblance of the three-act structure. Don't look up the jerk. You deserve better. And I'm sorry your dad said those things to you. Really, that's just horrible. {{{hugs}}}
Para,
glad the Pit can help in some small way.
I have to say, a few guys I dated are on FB and let me tell you, time has not been kind to them.
