ALRIGHT!

Hound wrote one that is pretty darn good that I've sent to 8 agents now. But I'm always up for doing a side by side test to see which works better.

Lord knows the dozen I've written are all junk!

I appreciate all of your help and I'm getting back on the COFF train tonight! (After Vampire Diaries of course! )

*cringes* You did, um, fix any grammar errors and such first, right? Bc I whipped that one out without proofing it.....

Dream & June - I repped ya both!

This stupid soap opera is so distracting! And, it's SO HORRIBLE! They have a medical resident who is all of 22. LOL. Anyway...trying to ignore the soap opera...

Forget it! I'm checking my email! <- no willpower

Okay, you guys have me scared to read June's NaL now. Like, I'm going to read it and then delete my entire ms, because it's so not-worthy. EEEK!

I'm back. Thanks for all the good wishes.

He is resting and in bed. The ketamine combined with the morphine made him sick. He was a trooper. He just got his cast off at the end of July, we took it easy for a month and he returned to normal play beginning of Sept. I was in bed still kinda sick and not paying attention. They had on footed pajamas and were dragging each other through the house and he fell. (breaking the no running and rough play in the house rule). Broke the same arm, same two bones, just in different places. Argh. Thing is, we just got the final bill from last time . At least insurance didn't refuse any of the charges so we should be okay this time.

ETA: I couldn't get the stupid QLH link in my siggy.

Oh no! I'm sorry. I remember how my arm hurt when I broke it. I hope he's feeling better VERY soon! Gentle hugs to him (and you!!)

Someone stop me from checking my gmail every ten minutes. Please.

You can set it to forward the email to your cell phone.

That's how I felt after reading LTM and NaL. *sighs*

Question bloggers: do we only interview pub'd authors, or agented authors on sub?

houndrat · Oct 1, 2009

Can someone repost the Teaser list, or remember who's on it? I'd still like to get to everyone's TT, even though I was a big lam-o and didn't contribute....

Oops, it's on the blogroll page, right???

Pubbed. That's was the general consensus, anyway.

Blogroll page, silly! :tongue

LTM and NaL are both awesome. Different styles but both worthy of praise or should I say publication...

Just got out of bed. Kids TRASHED the entire effing house, and I do mean entire. The only rooms spared were my bedroom and the two bathrooms. So I yelled, told them to clean it up and went back to bed. After all that energy expended, all 5 minutes of it, I am exhausted. What a great mom I am.

Rebecca_Rogers · Oct 1, 2009

LMAO, Herb!!!! That sucks, but it's hilarious at the same time.

Or maybe I've had too much Mtn. Dew to drink. *scratches head*

fairy86 · Oct 1, 2009

Hey, Kathleen.

I have a few authors who've agreed to do interviews with OPWFT but I haven't gotten around to interviewing them. Since I'm prob. going to contributor status, you're welcome to the interviews

Rebecca_Rogers · Oct 1, 2009

STEPH!! Did you get my email?

Maybe I will see it as funny in about an hour, once they have finished cleaning it

Cool! Kath, let me know if you need any help--I'm game to do one, too.

You could always drink Mtn. Dew. After about four cans, everything's funny. Kinda has the same effect on me as alcohol. Hmm..

Sure! I just don't think it's fair of me to wait so long. Just let me know if you guys want me to email you the names
