Things you might want to know
Update THINGS!!!
* I have privatized most (if not all, I haven’t checked yet) of my fictional entries on this diary. I had a few people who wanted to be added to my email mailing list, so I’m going to start that up this week. If you want to continue on with the following stories, let me know and I’ll add you :
*Blue Blue Dress
*Identity
*Untitled urban fantasy story failure from last years Nano… ha!
If you want to read any of my previous works, let me know as well:
*Petit Noir (Story before BBD)
*Trigger (Story before Identity)
It might be good if you have a google email. It makes sharing my docs easier. However, I will be sending things with the body of the story included in the email for those who do not have google.
*If you read Last Words, that is staying as it is for now. I’m conferring with my agent (aka Baboo, ha!) to see what he thinks. I’d much rather keep that in that forum. I have read a lot of introductions to zombie books and it seems many of them started online. I would like to hope if someone stole my shiz, I’d find out (since I’m getting into the genre)… and then they’d find themself sued and very sad. So for now, that is staying the same. If I do decide to change it, I will let you know. It’s not really in the format that I’d want to send in an email… so yeah…
*Jacobs tooth fell out and it’s in my pocket (I remembered to be the Tooth Fairy this morning). I’m a mom… but do we really have teeth in our pockets and call it normal? I guess I do.
*I have heard NOTHING from the time travel story publisher. I’m a bit sad. HOWEVER, a very AWESOME fav hipped me to another publisher who has opened up for submissions. It looks like a "romance" publisher, so I’m not sure what I write would suite what they are looking for, but I’m going to try it. I have something in the works that might fit it. I’m just not sure how much time I’ll have. I might even submit Trigger (they do fantasy, horror, vampire stuff)… but it needs editing like crazy. Anybody wanna do it for free? ha ha. I just don’t have the money right now to pay anyone. I have Jons birthday this month, Baboo’s birthday next month, school shopping in September… basically, I’m broke for the rest of the damn year!!!!
But I do need eyes, so if you’re up for it, I would love your help with this. I would be sending it out as a chapter a day for reading and input.
If not, I’ll try to do it on my own *eep!!!* Baboo is going to get me this "self editing" book, so maybe that’ll help.
*Nothing from the courthouse. According to a friend who is a lawyer, it can take 6 weeks, so I’m on the 6th week now. I hope I get something either this week or next. I’m ready to be done with this madness. I wanna be married and not have to stop sex mid orgasm cuz we’re not using protection and he has to pull out (it happened today and it sucked, but it was still good. ha ha). It would suck to get pregnant before we’re hitched. but it wouldn’t be the end of the world if you ask me. Bleh.
*Gonna go work on some zombie love. I have much to catch up on! I’m hoping to finish the days for June by tomorrow.

Last Words (A zombie apocalypse survival diary, for your reading pleasure and future knowledge when they take over the world. Yes, I am the author.)
I wonder if there is a way to copyright your Last Words entries. I don’t know much about copyrighting though. I’m glad you are going private for the rest of the stuff though. I will definitely be bugging you later on for access to your other works.

I have found very strange things in very strange places (like a cheeseburger in my purse) and I am not a mom. I am frightened to see what I might find when that happens. Oh, write a vampire love story…or a vampire / smart zombie love story. Ha, even if you dont send it in I think the vampire / smart zombie one would be fun.

Submit, submit, submit! All they can say is no. Then you move on to the next one. You never know unless you try! 🙂 As far as the courthouse goes, hopefully no news is good news. If something was filled out incorrectly or didn’t go through, they’d have kicked it back by now, right? So… Stay positive. *thumbs up*

RYN: It happened! I was all “la la la, tampon, keys, lip gloss, cheeseburger….wha?” Eric stashed it when I wasnt looking.

Though, having the diary and it being dated I am sure you could hold some kind of case if someone actually did steal your work online. If they profited from it and had it published you could just sue them, take the money they made, already have the book published and create controversy to make the story even more desirable. Then again, you could have your entire work fleeced and be left with nothing but the satisfaction that you actually wrote it. Tough Choices lady. Tough choices, but you definitely made the right one.

I want to be on the mailing list! I really like Blue, Blue Dress. I also like the zombie story, but am way behind.

Yep it really does take 6 weeks. There’s like one person (clerk) in LA Co who does all of them and he’s not all that fast although it is a sucky job. I agree — just keep submitting, someone will bite! So many famous authors had stacks of rejection letters before they found the right person!
