Tired

It’s Friday. I should be happy. Except I had to nap when I got home. I wrote half a damn sentence on my synopsis. I can’t get my brain back in gear for the life of me. My blog has apparently been screwing up the hit count, so I’m not really getting 800 hits a […]

Procrastination Is An Art Form

I’m telling you.ย  It’s true.ย  And I, my friends, am a grand master. Tonight I bashed a bit more at the synopsis.ย  Interspersed, of course, with wandering the internet, taking a MENSA test “workout ” (twenty-two out of thirty, and a recommendation to contact my local MENSA chapter), wandered this blog, changed things, changed most

Demmed Synopsi

Yes, I’m aware the plural is synopses.ย  I just like synopsi better.ย  Not that I like any of the beasts very damned well.ย  Yes, I am STILL bashing away at Taro’s.ย  No, I really don’t think I’m getting anywhere.ย  In fact, I scrapped the half-page I had as gods-awful, and started over.ย  Now I have

Query Weary

Yeah, guess what I’ve been doing all day? All right, so here’s the almost-completely re-worked hook. Tell me what you think. New hook. And here, on Miss Snark’s blog, is the old hook , with comments. What do you think?
