LECTURE GIRL!!!!
Oh, I would give the BEST informative speeches.
"Formation of the Moon--Facts, Fictions, and Shit You Just Would Not Believe." 8pm, Holiday Inn Express conference room.
"Lava Flow and the Formation of Super Awesome Crystals" Call for tour info.
"Obey Gravity--It's the LAW" Book signing at local used book nook.
Since the superhero thing isn't manifesting yet, I'll have to settle on making super friends and super enemies when my book blows up like *gaacckk* Twilight *gaaaaggggguuuhh*
Sorry, threw up in my mouth a little bit.
I think I've found an agent for my book, if the extremely helpful advice she's giving me is any indication. The manuscript is a thousand times better than when I started, thanks to her helpful insight. And I figure I'm a winner either way--she either accepts me formally, or I just got a bunch of email help from a pro. Help is hard to come by in this industry, the helpful kind, that is. There is an entire industry built around "helping" new authors with everything but sitting their butt down and typing something. Most of it "helps" the hopeful writer out of their money.
I want to lighten reader's wallets a bit in exchange for giving them something to do on the train. Those people who sell a writer their dreams back to them packaged as a quick and easy surefire novel are scum. SCUM! Just because some one is gullible, doesn't make it OK to take advantage of them. I don't pluck that wallet hanging out of that lady's purse, and I would stop you if I saw you try.
UGH--Injustice, don't get me started.
Then I might not finish tweeking my book, and then what would you do on the train?
When I'm on the train, I like to watch people make faces in the window and read over their shoulders.
