I think Botox in the first place is just wrong. On an 8-year-old? Ridiculous.

I feel like crying. I finished my last edit and kinda feel lonely now. Im running a few of my word macros to check for frequencies and then I'll be mailing betas.

I'll let you all know once I've mailed it out. Thank you all again to those who have offered to help me by reading.

Hey,all!

Just popping in to wish everyone well!

I sent out five queries. I got two R's and the rest are as quiet as church mice.

Onto the next batch*Jay Z voice*

Mu net just randomly died. I panicked for a second there. Can't research agents and such without my internets.

Thanks,guys!

Agents are tired of vamps and lycans,it seems. My story has both but I am hoping that the voodoo angle is fresh enough for them.

Heh. Yeah, gotta love trends right?

Got tired of the Rs for fantasy, so I worked on my memoir. Not that the outcome looks any better, but ... yeah.

Yep,Kyva,it's pretty sobering.

But I won't give up. I'll keep querying this book.

Great to hear it Kitty. Lissy's right. If we believe in our work, we shouldn't give up unless there's no other options. I sent out something like 200 queries for Melina. I got requests, but it just isn't the right story to publish right now.

Gonna head to bed. Allergies are acting up. Have a good night all. I'll try and swing by tomorrow. It's Jamie's b-day, so not sure how much net activity I'll have.

Night all.

What do you guys say to people who say, "Old people shouldn't write for YA. It's creepy."

A friend of mine told me this recently, and I felt so uncomfortable with what she said that I didn't know how to respond. :/

EDIT: It's like saying adults shouldn't work with children... I don't know, it was just a really weird thing for her to say.

Ah, I don't see anything wrong with it.

As long as you are not like living your book, or anything, and it's not about stalking - laughs. That would be creepy then...

But most authors, and children's authors, are adults. Stephany Meyer wrote Twilight and is an adult. She's 38 I believe, with 2 kids.

Our ages here range from 22-45 at the moment. And the brain never ages. We all seem to agree that it picks a spot in years(certain age) and decides to stay there, even as time marches on. We just always think of ourselves that way. We don't picture getting older until faced with a mirror at times.

Who exactly does this 'friend' thinks writes all these books? JK Rowling is in her 40's... It takes time to write and get published, even if a teen like Chris Paolini does write something - so they probably won't be a teen anymore, by the time it is on shelves. Hope that helps...
