Where's That Straightjacket Of Mine?
I must be losing my mind, minions. For some sick, masochistic, twisted reason, I volunteered to write a synopsis of Wonderland for my agent.
I know! What's WRONG with me?? Apparently the doctors need to tighten the buckles on my pretty coat that snaps in the back, because I'm horrible at writing synopses. Fortunately, I have the world's most understanding, wonderful, fabulous agent there is to have, and I'm sure it'll all work out fine. I'm actually stupidly excited about it, so there's further proof that Auntie Heather has slipped even further off the deep end.
I'm also happy to share that last night I completed a rough version of a detailed outline for Wonderland (little notes to myself about just what the heck I'm writing) and, happy happy joy joy, I know how it all ends. BIG relief there.
I can't recall whether or not I blogged about this, but my wonderful editor emailed a couple of weeks ago and asked if I had any thoughts on cover art for Eighth Grade Bites that she could pass on to the art department. Well, you know me, I have thoughts on everything. So I made up a little Word File, typed up my thoughts, included some examples and sent it on. Well, happily, she liked what I sent and said she'd pass it on. No promises, but it would be way cool if they used any of my ideas. Of course, they are brilliant artists and I am a lowly author, so really, what do I know about cover design? I can't wait to see what brilliant artwork they come up with!
And now, I'm afraid I'm going to have to insist that you minions go out and pre-order a book. The fabulous Ally Carter's I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have To Kill You is due to be released on May 1st!

... or maybe you can get your nice hubby to up the daily dosage. :)
Congrats on the editor/artwork thing. That si really nice that they at least asked.
I'll add Ally's to the list... which is growing expotentially since I got onto backspace.
Speaking of... thanks for telling me to put my query up for comment. It is looking very good now. Now I just have to finish the edits... and finish my YA WIP, and write a query letter for it and then a synopsis for each, and...
It never ends! :)
You're quite welcome, dear. Backspace is full of wisdom. (and just wait until Kay Hooper gets back! She's truly amazing)
