I Hope It Doesn't Suck
Well, according to my reader, my Critique Partner, my hubby, and that little voice at the back of my head (it sits next to Vlad), Ninth Grade Sucks is finished. Last night I tweaked one final scene and emailed it to my agent. So cross your fingers, minions. I'm pretty proud of this book. Hopefully, my agent (and later on, my editor) will be too.
Haven't I been bad this week? Hardly any blog entries at all. Shame on me! And the sick thing is, I have little reason for it, beyond a completely fried brain. I leave for NYC in two weeks (oh crap, less than two weeks!), can't seem to keep my bag packed, and have had the worst nightmares about this trip. Last night's was a doozy. Neil Gaiman showed up and was spreading rumors about me. So everyone started pointing and whispering. It was awful. And Neil is a god, so it really bummed me out that he was saying nasty things about me. Stress? Lil bit, yeah.
I'm currently compiling a list of potential reviewers and interviewers, so if you (or someone you know) are a book reviewer or author interviewer (yeah...I know) and would be interested in reviewing Eighth Grade Bites or interviewing me, drop me a line and I'll see about getting you on the list. Because some day very soon, I'm going to have *faints* ARCs.
Whoa. I just had another one of those "I'm being published!" moments.

Don't worry about Neil Gaiman... I can take him down if he starts something :)
Just calm down about the conference. At least you aren't presenting there, or even meeting with an agent (yikes!).
All you have to so is show up and be your usual cute-adorable-sweet-goth-vampire-chick self and you'll be loved by everyone.
Beside, you have Jax and Ewoh there for support, although I can't guarantee the E will not be in complete breakdown :)
You are awesome and wonderful and amazing and GETTING PUBLISHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember the mantra: ease and grace, ease and grace, breathe in, breathe out...
Awwwww, you are such a sweetie! I'm going to print this out and reread it on the plane :)
ROFL
OK, you do that. Read it as many times as you need.
I'm still working on the Disneyland connection for you... I have not forgotten.
I would like to say, after reading your blogger from the beginning, you gave me the energy to jump-start and finish my young adult (paranormal - ghost) WIP. I've been jotting down some dialogues, plots and a bit of research in this old crappy journal for the past two years. So tonight, I'll start by outlining.
Can't wait to read your book.
Again, you rawk, Ewoh! :-*
India, that's wonderful! Stick with it--the most important thing you can do to become published is to never, ever give up! And please, keep me informed. I LOVE YA paranormal. :)
That's awesome, Heather! I wish I was going to the conference and could meet up with you guys. My conference allocation is for the RWA National one at the end of the month in Atlanta. I except to hear great things from you guys!!!
Lord, I have to get ready to pitch to Ellora's Cave. Ack.
Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Sybir! And have fun in Atlanta! :)=
