Cashing in Those Karma Chips
...and just like that, my day improved grossly.
As you can see (below), yesterday was headed in a stressful direction. But life has a way of throwing you off-course, and just as I thought it could only worsen, it improved by leaps and bounds.
My fabulous, wonderful, I'm-so-lucky-to-have-him agent emailed with a great idea. In order to protect ourselves from unintentional similarities to American McGee's Alice (plus, hey, it just works better this way), Michael suggested changing the asylum to a prison or dungeon. Well, I immediately picture some of those old European prisons, complete with shackles and racks. Perfect. My agent? Brilliant with a capital B.
Plus, he loves the new title (as do I): Beyond the Looking Glass.
Not bad, eh? Here's to another great day!
I managed to complete the first draft of a synopsis that I'm not telling you about just yet, and I'm currently plugging away at the second Wonderland book's chapter outline.
If I get quiet, don't bury me.
I'm always pale like this.

YEAH for Heather
So glad that things are going better. Sounds like you have a good new twist on the story.
I have been playing hookey from my WIPs lately to work on an outline for a story that has been burning up my brain... well, maybe it was just the muse trying to set fire to my non-existant hair :)
Anyway, great news and your agent is the best.
If your muse is lighting a fire, that's a good thing. (I'll bring the extinguisher!) Good luck, Ewoh!!
Woo-hoo! It tickles my wings to know that things are back on track for you, Heather!
