As should you be! I really want to get back to the query stage. Remember how suckish my query/writing was before? I think I've improved a lot! Time to redeem myself.

On an unrelated note, I re-self-published (don't ask) one of my short stories to Amazon. Thank gosh the reviews transferred, lol. I'm hoping people will actually buy this.


And now to watch The Office.

ETA: Yes! First sale! I'm now 30 cents richer! Haha.

Hey, Lisa.

I'm less than a chapter and a half away from being done these MAAH edits.

Then I'll send off my full, which is exclusive for a week (it was a contest thing).

Anyone want to read these edits? not looking for a beta, that would be a bit depressing.

Ahhh the chapter where I went, "OH, IT'S FINISHED."

I wish I had time to read more diary format novels (read THE MOTH DIARIES for class) but I don't. I'm curious to know how often entries occur.

My favorite diary format novel was 'Dear Jo.' entries varied from twice a day to once in three months.

ETA: otherwise known as the chapter where you THINK it's over.

I love me my cliffhangers... when I'm the one who knows what's coming,

I was thinking: entries at least once a week, at least for this draft.

There is going to be an awkward scene with Daniel's mum in a shopping centre. I say no more.

Trying to find a game to play while I try and come up with more scenes. One with the ball knocking the blocks with a paddle.
