Old People Writing for Teens

Sean Connery - didn't he do the "Confidence if very sexy, don't you think?" commercial?

I sent Mark McVeigh another query and still didn't get the auto - response...

No, you're thinking of Jack Palance....he was pretty hot for an old dude in that commercial if I remember right.

Okay peeps,

I hate to leave the hot agent, hot actors, convo, but I gotta retirement dinner for one of my fellow English peeps to go to.

Be back afterwhile!!!

I have my full out to him:

Hehe. I have a new desktop background.

And I have a full out to her. And a partial out to her.

I'm pretty sure they do because I've seen them post on the agency threads. I posted one recently and the agent herself created an account and posted info about herself. I was like WOW.

Oooh, Steven? *looks around* Did you catch that comparison to Joseph Fiennes? Huh, didja? Pretty nice, huh?




Now, REP MY BOOK!

LMAO

Here's the thread I posted the other day.

WAIT! Wrong thread. Oops.

This thread.

Lol - I was just about to post a bunch of ???????????? *was totally confused*

hahahaha I've lost my damn mind.

Huh, that was cool. Did you already send to her or are you waiting until June 30th to send?

What a small world! That agent guy has three of my friend's blogs linked on his blog. Plus, he reads Ted Dekker--who I love! Well, now I MUST query him!

I sent it. She sounds pretty legit. Plus I thought it was cool that she was in on that TN writers thingy...since I live in TN and all. I also figured that she'd still take on queries, but it might be a while until she responded because of the move.

Haven't heard back, though. She's probably like, "Oh, God. There's that chick that posted the thread about me on AW." bahaha

Ted Dekker is AMAZING. I love the Circle Trilogy. And Blink. Those are my favorites, I think.

Shoot. I'm fangirling again. *sigh* I'm hopeless.

Blink is the best book EVER! I love that one! And the Circle Trilogy...I devoured that in a week. What a ride. I'm not as fond of his recent work, though. He lost me after SHOWDOWN. I think the last one of his I read and liked was OBSESSED.

MissKris! I love your avatar! That artist is a friend of mine. We belong to several of the same fantasy art groups.

Umm...I meant that first agent: Alex Field

OLD PEOPLE WHERE ARE YOU???? I'M FREAKING OUT! AN AGENT CALLED ME!

He left a VM on my cell, I called and left him a VM and I'm waiting for him to call me back. He said he wants to talk to me about Steam Angel....don't know what that means, but he called....so??? I don't know.

I'm dying here!

Woooooooooooooooo! Thats SO GOOD!

I agree - his more recent books aren't nearly as cool. I couldn't even finish SINNER.

JamieB - OMG THAT'S AWESOME!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Chan - I'm reading Haunted! And I'm still loving it! (Although, sorry, but you need to change the cafeteria scene - because right now I'm reading Honey as Rosalie and Casey as Alice.)

OMG JAMIE THAT'S AWESOME!!!


Ok...just breathe in and out... slowly... aw, screw it! I'd be screaming. LOL

Yaaaaaaayyyyyyy Jamie!!! Congrats on the call. OMG - you posted twenty minutes ago - what's the update? What's the UPDATE?!?!?!?!?

UGH...scam. Tried to pitch me on paying an editor. Said I had as many as 20 punctuation and spelling errors in each line and shouldn't send a ms out to anyone in that shape. Funny that NONE of my readers have picked up on that - oh or spell check. (which I don't use on here BTW)

I'm going to drink beer now.

UGH. Now I'm angry. *sends death-vibes to scam agent*

He said it has potential and thought it would be a good paranormal romance ???? It's Sci Fi - HELLO?

Oh, no! I'm so sorry, Jamie. That sucks. The $#*!&. And I mean that.

The thing is, they have a good thread on here and sales. I don't know what this "my neighbor's an editor" crap is...but I guess I should let Dave at P&E know about it.
