Well, what happens next? Work that out, and then decide from there what the noise needs to be.

What Ky said.

75 words away from hitting 27k. This should be really, really easy.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to figure out! >_> I want them to encounter Nico(the demon) again, since all he's done so far was eat ice-cream and be bumped into :/
...Maybe I'll think of something tomorrow...

You know you are a geek when: you pull out a gummy worm and get excited because it is Slytherin colors.

xD You know you're a geek when you get an assignment to copy one of Van Gogh's paintings and you choose the one that was featured on Doctor Who.

I'm going to be gone from Tuesday to the following Wednesday. I'm afraid of what my email will look like once I get back.

Good luck. It shouldn't be that bad right? :)

Well I got 4 solicitations for everything from 30 pages to the entire MS last time I submitted it...

*I was told by one agent that it had good bones and was a good story - but it wasn't anything unusual... Uhg... Sooo we shall see* :D

Well if sci fi is as big as they say it is agents will be willing to scoop it up as long as it is a good story.

I hope, I tried in 2008 - but eventually all 4-5 turned into rejections.

So I moved on into other things, thinking the market was flooded or something...

The other day, at the Harry Potter exhibition, I was sorted into Slytherin. For the second time. With the sorting hat.

Granted, I did tell the guy it was my favorite house. Both times. LOL. He later asked me not to steal anything and told the kids to look out for me :D

Come move to London soon? A two-bed flat?

I can imagine the convo with Mum

Me: Mum, I'm moving out

Mum: Where are you going?

Me: I'm going to live with a writer friend

Mum: Who?

Me: Tally.

Mum: Is she from uni?

Me: No. I met her online

Mum: .....
