Oh, thank God, posted so now I can. You know a few weeks ago I sent you to read her chapter in the contest she was participating in? She just won the grand prize. A tv development deal with Fox TV Studios. AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I AM SO EXCITED AND PROUND AND HAPPY AND *SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE*! Go congratulate her. *beams and beams and beams and BEAMS*!
on getting published, apparently
A friend just emailed me asking for advice for a friend of /hers/; he’s written a novel and while he says everyone who’s read it can’t put it down, he doesn’t know how to get it into a publisher’s hands. He says it crosses genres, so he doesn’t even know where to start, and that he knows it would sell if he had an agent but he knows he can’t get an agent without having sold.

nnwm community?

I could have written a great deal more, but I thought that was probably enough to get things stabilized in my head so they wouldn’t fall out and leave me wondering,…
