Excellent. I hope it goes well.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Thanks, Sox-- this one's just scary for me because it's such a departure. It's paranormal (a ghost story, which I've never done before), it's in 3rd person, which I have written in yonks, and well, it's just different. At least for me.
So-- we'll see.
ETA: Thanks, Gud! And congrats on getting through your revisions!

Yay Barb. Have finished revising main text in book (though thought of important clarification in last chapter). Now revising appendixes.

Because books.
Way to go, guys! Good luck to both of you.

Whew-- had a first cold read come back on the new proposal and they called it Twilight meets Time Traveler's Wife in the best of ways with a lovely fairy tale quality
I can live with those sorts of comparisons if it'll help sell the thing. *g*

That's awesome, Barb!

If it means "sells like Twilight," it's the best description ever.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Wonderful-sounding review, Barb! Much proposal~ma for more reactions like that.
Congrats on finishing the main revisions, Gud! I hope the submission stage leads to great things.
