Old People Writing for Teens, IV

Smiley: I'll check out Witch Eyes! Sounds like it's in my wheelhouse (whatever that means).

Thanks for the rec!

Sage got a hairdryer? If nothing else, it'll give you something to do.

Blech, kitty throw up. Sorry Sage!

Eh, a little cat puke never hurt anybody. Cat pee, now that...

Just kidding. I would suggest turning the cushions over if you can. They won't dry as fast, but it will give you a chance to reclaim your spot for now.

I feel your pain, Sage. My writing couch finally gave up the good fight. My wife insisted on replacing it. Not animal damage, but large posterior damage.

However, the dog has destroyed every other piece of furniture in the house. I think he's bored watching me write.

I hate it when my cat pukes on stuff and I have to clean it up. Can you write at a counter, a table, a comfortable chair?

My two week hiatus from my WIP is up. I think two weeks is too long. After the first week, I had some fresh perspective and new ideas. After the second week, I forgot about it and didn't think about it much. Now it will be a struggle to get back into it.

I need another few days too, since I have a book review due. I had the entire afternoon to read the book, but I got distracted by Plants Vs Zombies after 20 pages or so.

Dorothy, I'm looking forward to your book. Your tease about the cover--and the cool title--is already piquing my interest.

Thanks! I like the sound of your book, too.

Sage, that sucks. Is it out of the question to get it professionally cleaned? At least that way you know every spec and fiber is puke-free. *shudders* Or, you know, throw a towel over the spot. ;-)

And I have an announcement. I will be holding another agent-judged pitch contest on my blog next month. So if you're polishing up your manuscripts, get it done before the third week in August. It's a three-sentence pitch, like last time. Winner gets a full request from lit agent.

Congratulations on your novel, Dorothy! I can't imagine how exciting that must be. What an awesome contest! I wish I had a ms to pitch but I'm far, far from that stage.
Some day....

Dorothy that sounds like an awesome contest... I wish I was around to participate (darn going to Europe for college grad present ). Good luck to those who enter

Seeing the Amazing Spider-Man today! It's supposed to be 100degrees F here, blech.

Sage I hope you get to enter TM! I think TM sounds like a fun story and I hope it does well (contests, agent-y things, other things).

Sage said:

If more betas get back to me on TM (only one has), it is possible I could do that contest now.

Awesome! I'll cross my fingers for you.

Boy do i know this one

Hey guys!! Hope you're all doing well. A night or two ago I sent my revised novel to a beta, so here's hoping I'm closer to being done with this revisions. Or at least, closer to making it a better/stronger novel

I also just saw The Amazing Spider-man and really really enjoyed it (closer to the comics! and a much darker feel than the Raimi Spiderman movies).

Yup, holiday weekend and all
