Even my nose hairs.<br /><br />I've been working a lot, writing a couple of articles for our local magazine for "Mental Health Week", and working on a comedy routine for next Friday's open mike night at our comedy club. This one is way more risque than the stuff I normally do. I think I'm becoming demented, and this is the first sign.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396540555696283171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-6578043896486644952009-07-02T17:39:50.691-05:002009-07-02T17:39:50.691-05:00Gypsy, you're one of the writers I was thinkin...Gypsy, you're one of the writers I was thinking of when I said that.

A...Melanie,<br /><br />I'm so excited and happy for you!<br /><br />And, I have to admit to being totally thrilled to be at this stage, too.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to the querying. Rather than thinking of it as a dreadful thing, I'm training my mind to view it as an exciting next step. One that I also plan to experience in private, for the reasons you and others mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-38320217959785961462009-07-02T15:52:04.060-05:002009-07-02T15:52:04.060-05:00Not much happening here.

The first is very obvious, it is the birth date of our founding fathers great idea of freedom.<br /><br />And of course the second is I get to drink alcohol and play with large explosives. <br />Isn't this country great!!!!!!Penguinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-69757935439106180012009-07-02T13:57:46.363-05:002009-07-02T13:57:46.363-05:00Lurker, I'm really excited!

I think it's smart not to post on the blog about it - in fact, make all the posts in the next week about Mexico as you are putting your blog in the query.<br /><br />I can't wait! *living vicariously through Melanie*<br /><br />Let's see, while you were gone - I got new makeup that I ordered (only $1 each!) and I started wearing makeup! It probably won't last, but it was fun for this week!Nadinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14457340386682051325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-84058500808422767802009-07-02T11:20:54.509-05:002009-07-02T11:20:54.509-05:00I think it's wise that you will not be updatin...I think it's wise that you will not be updating every detail. I had a few agents google me when I was querying, and you don't want to look like damaged goods with months and months of Rs (even though that most certainly IS part of the process--hopefully not for you and you'll get scooped up right away!) <br /><br />I emailed back and forth to several AWers who were querying at the same time. (Prawn, mikeland and a few others) It was cathartic, but not for all to see. Now all of us are on submission and still bitching via email!WendyCinNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548500219172368038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124066428536267360.post-70800567058789683592009-07-02T10:16:37.278-05:002009-07-02T10:16:37.278-05:00Spy, that's so exciting that it's all fall...Spy, that's so exciting that it's all falling into place.

That's ...JLC, you keep changing your name. :P<br /><br />That's awesome your dad is there, and more family coming soon. After seeing how you treat your guests, I can see why everyone visits.<br /><br />I bought two pairs of shoes -- sneakers and these bronze casual things, sort of like ballet flats but sturdier.

By Wednesday we will have our house back, but then we need to pack for a camping trip next week. *whew!*<br /><br />It looked like you had a memorable time. Did you get any new shoes? :)JLChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05405559509794744714noreply@blogger.com
