#TeamFizzy is the most epic team hashtag ever. Once again, I have no clue what is going on but this is still epic.
Yeah, we've got the catchiest hashtag.
Fizzygrrl is awesome!
And happy belated birthday!!
CONGRATS, CHRISTABELLE! Yay!!!

I am having a small pity party today. I just got an sign-up email for a workshop I participated in 2 years ago, and I'm realizing even if I could go, I wouldn't have anything new and polished enough to take. Sigh. (One of the chapters I read there was from the book that got my agent - you know, the one I'm still revising. The other chapter was from another book that I finished while I was pregnant, but agent doesn't think she can sell it. Not a strong enough hook for a debut, basically.)
On the positive side, I've been doing some freewriting, and I think I have my characters for my multiPOV SNI.
Aww, Wampus
I know the feeling. It sucks feeling stuck. How long have you been revising your book for your agent? Did you hit a snag, or is it all the other life stuff that's making it difficult to finish? I'm not at the revising for an agent stage, but I really did think February would give me a lot more time to revise and work on my WIP. It's hard with kids the age of ours. They can't entertain themselves yet, and they're too busy to sit in your lap while you work.
When Baby C was younger, he'd swing for hours, and I could write while he was swinging. Now, he wants to crawl around, climb up on things, get into everything, pull the dog's hair, and pound on my keyboard. I can't do any writing when he's awake, and he's a restless sleeper, especially since he's teething. We had a good weekend where he actually slept most of the night, but now he's getting his first upper tooth, and he's awake every few hours. I was so productive Sunday and yesterday evening after he fell asleep, but I won't be tonight after being up so much with him.
You can email me if you want to vent or brainstorm or anything!
Yay Christabelle for getting into Pitchmadness. My agent is participating (and found 2 of my agent sisters/brothers that way last year)…and found me through the Twitter pitch #pitmad… so you just never know.

In some good news
(besides castles…more on that, KTC?) I got into grad school
to my top choice. Still waiting to hear from other places but yayyy!
That's very cool, Smiley. It's awesome that agents participate in these contests and there are success stories!
*fingers crossed*
Congrats on getting into grad school!
I saw you were on WWW last night. I didn't get to watch the whole thing, but it was cool to see someone I recognized from here on there!
