What are you suggesting, sir? That as a Scot I would conform to the national stereotype and-

Well, maybe. :D

Actually I just took an imigran tablet, so I may start acting a little silly soon.

It's all moving pretty fast, which I like. No point fannying about and dithering. I've sent them my postal address for the contract, filled out the marketing sheet and cover art form, joined the author yahoo group...

Now I just wait to be introduced to my editor.

Lori showed me how to use 'track changes' last night; it's surprisingly easy. Picked it up in five minutes. Naturally we sent the same word.doc back and forth a few times, adding dirty words and stupid jokes to the page...purely to make sure I knew how to use track changes properly, that's all...

It's looking like April for a release date. Which I take as a compliment to the state of my submission, and an act of trust on their part - they believe I'll get the edits done in time.

I'm not surprised at all. :partyguy: and all that, but I knew this day was coming, I told you so.

Good job, I'm really proud of you.

I have to consider my next rep now if you're a pro :D

SP: I haven't got much time to spend on AW these days but one of the things I regularly do is check this forum for YOUR BIG NEWS. I knew it would come sooner or later and see, I was right!

Big big hugs to you and well done my darling. Why not come to the UK meet on 22 May so we can all raise a glass to you??? I know it's in London but as you'll be coming to get your Booker prize anyway in a cople of years you might as well get used to the journey!

It's disgustingly filthy and that is all you need to know.

(You're intrigued, aren't you)? ;)

Or smut and putting the beat-down on whinging crybabies is rewarded by the universe....

Either, or, sparklepeaches. It's all good!

Yes, Libertine - my avatar is now truly appropriate. The unholy trinity are (is?) all on the road to fame, fortune, sexual depravity and more than likely a criminal record.

Today a contract, tomorrow - THE WORLD. AND WE SHALL EAT IT.

Thanks, all. :D

Only five contracts behind Lori now, so I better get writing some more unimaginable filth.

SP and TT42: Books so filthy, you should read them with your eyes closed!

Okay, when's it coming out in audio?

Scratch that. Six contracts behind Lori. Bitch sold another book.

Damn it. Here's hoping that other book I have on sub comes through for me.

Competitive? MOI?
