Anyone have time to read my revised chapter 3 and tell me if it makes Summer seem semi-sympathetic? The front half isn't really supposed to, the back half, yes.

If not, no worries.

Deb, I'd be no good tonight but I can look tomorrow evening if you send it.

Is it too nosy to ask for a second rep with who it is?

I can do it this weekend! I have like 4 people to beta for. It's going to be a busy weekend.

BTW Kate, I love the Friday tweet recaps. Very fun idea.

So, one of my students gave me a baggie with a new razor, deodorant, shampoo, hair spray, lip gloss and a candle in it for Valentine's Day. Think he's trying to tell me something?

And this kid has one of those 'super moms', which made it even more weird! I promise I bathe and even shave my legs on occasion.

It's also good to start out slow in case there are issues with your ms. I had two full requests out of the first ten queries I had and the response from both led me to realize that my ms needed major revisions.

Oh and now is supposed to be an excellent time to query Kristin Nelson so I would add her to your list.

Can you tell me why it's a good time? She's high on my list to query... so I'm super nosy!

Ummmmm - weird.

charlotte49ers · Feb 12, 2010

I know, right?! I mean, it's practical, I guess?

She's a big couponer/hoarder so me thinks she just grabbed and stuffed.

How funny!!! some parents are strange, or they don't get the culture. I got toothpaste for Christmas one year. They had just arrived in Australia from China.

Het--apparently 6 of her writers missed editor deadlines, so she's looking for something to read. I think she has a blog post about it?

And Vee, sent! Kathy, will send! Everyone else--thank you so much! If I don't get it sent out by tonight/tomorrow morning like planned, I'll email you! Otherwise, thank you so much anyway---you're all awesome for offering!

Elysium · Feb 12, 2010

Hey guys!

ooh, of course - I don't read for a couple of days and miss it!

Maybe that will give me incentive to finish this darn thing up. I'm not even going to beg for betas again until I am ready. *hangs head in shame*

Thanks!

CommonReactor · Feb 12, 2010

Hound - Count me in! I wanna read it, too. I told June I'd finish up with what she sent me for TG tomorrow morning...so same for you!

And, since it's a big time difference, you should have it before you get up if you send it tonight.

Kath stopped to get Chinese takeout on the way home. Tomorrow she will be joining you in revision hell.

Also, still not king but may be duke of some sort.

Hmm, so what all does this mean? I'm confuzzled, lol.

Elysium · Feb 12, 2010

I am getting tired of all this snow.

CommonReactor · Feb 12, 2010

Well, after a really awesome alien encounter (we watched District 9), my eyes will not stay open any longer! NIGHT!!!!

Elysium · Feb 12, 2010

Good night Common!
