I used to work with someone who always threatened to beat people with her shoe. I always laughed my rear off when she'd say that!

So, I'm working... I "chat" for an online retailer doing personal shopping, etc. It's super slow right now and I'm twiddling my thumbs. I need to remember which computer is which when I'm replying.

*must not type *horks* into chat with customer*

I'm pretty sure I lifted something that is photo shopped. *slaps hand*

It's my new inspiration photo for my WIP, My MC's LI with some chick. Kind of inspired my characters to ummm... do it....

In reality, it's Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato (sorry for all the Jonas - it's kind of all Jonas all the time at my house right now)

My new MC rides a MV Augusta F4 1100 CC! Nothing but the best for my fictional kids!





Now I'm working on the damned synopsis. Gah,this stuff makes me even more crazy. Any tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Het,the Jonas plague must end. My daughter LOVES them.

That bike is Boooo-tiful!


Yes, I have three girls and they LOVE the Jonas. It could be worse... I think??? At least they play their own instruments and write their own music. I give them some credit for that.

Hey guys.

I need honest first chapter opinions and I don't want to post in SYW. If anyone cares to read through my chapter and tell me what they think, I would be more than grateful.

My son went gaga for it. I needed a bike for my new MC and I was about to write a Yamaha(I'm old). My son was horrified and picked this one out. He says he wants one when I get my fabulous contract.

It costs 135,000! *stunned*

I give them that much and their music is clean. Some of the stuff my 17 year old listen to hurts my soul.

Becca is going to get me locked up. First shanks,now 2x4's. Evil thoughts are upon me!

Oh I can imagine that is seriously an amazing bike. I used to drooool over a Ninja back in the day. Now - no motorcycles for me (although I have pretty good reason).

I love that phrase "hurts my soul", it's perfect for that. I'm no prude (by any stretch of anyone's imagination) but some music does exactly that.

Forget the kid. Mama might have to get one. The more I stare at,the more prettier it gets. I am a Goth and I listen to some crazy stuff. But some of this music is perfectly hideous.

Het,I have a question. When writing a synopsis,should I just focus on the first book or the entire series?

Het,I have a question. When writing a synopsis,should I just focus on the first book or the entire series?
I'm no pro on the synopsis... but from what I understand (and I spend way too much time reading up on these things) you have more lee-way in a synopsis than you do a query as far as sharing that info. Recently I'm also seeing more and more that agents mention they want to know if a story has series potential - as long as first story can stand on it's own.

If it's me - I'd add something about the series - but I'm pretty sure there are more qualified opinion givers on this topic.
