Booyah!
« on: November 07, 2006, 12:59:46 PM »
As you may remember, I met an editor at WorldCon who asked for the first three chapters of my book. Well, yesterday I got an email from her requesting the entire manuscript! Apparently she really liked the first three chapters. Hooray! We'll see how it goes from here, but let it be known that I'm mucho excited.

Well have a party!  Aren't you glad you went over to talk to her after her cohort slammed you into that metaphorical brick wall?  Many congratulations!

Here's hoping she loves the rest of it!
All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

Indeed! Though, at the rate publishers work, it could be a couple months... or more. :P

nah. Gemm can't spell. Though RRR does seem to naturally mean "SE is teh awesome." I have no idea how, though... But ninja monkeys are always mysterious that way.
