For those of you Writer Types who visit Manic Mom, the witty and always impressive, all-knowing, Clooney-lusting, gin-swilling, Killer Yapp-walking, nitwittery-loathing, fantabulous mysterious agent extraordinaire, Miss Snark, posted a question from me on her popular blog.

I think I'm in love.
Very cool! I, personally, can't wait to read your book. I wonder if all your already made fans were to deluge the publishers with pre-fan mail...
ReplyDeleteI'm still thinking of writing a book myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's called "Touring The World From A Barstool."
Jenster--hey! THanks so much! Funny story though, I had heard of a writer who had a bunch of people contact an agent saying how great his book was and that the agent should take the writer on. That writer got black-balled from the writing community! No lie! But thank you for saying you'd read my book.
ReplyDeleteBeefcake--Now that's a book I could relate to! It sounds like it would have a terrific hook! You write already, right? You drink already, right? Do you like to travel the world? I'd say the book has practically written itself! : )
I'd read you... and I do!
ReplyDeleteSounds like there are some really talented writers getting all sorts of rejections! I hear though it's very much a matter of perseverance, and if one gets a 'glowing rejection' it at least gives a lot of hope that it's more a matter of timing rather than substance.
ReplyDeleteYou're a great writer MM! Publishers should take their heads out of their butts and see that!
oh, btw, r. partygirl has agreed to take over the BWW! We'll now be reporting to her blog this Friday (I wrote about it over at my blog). You're still doing this with me right?
ReplyDeleteLove it. Those are great points made by Miss Snark.
ReplyDeleteTell her to keep her good advice CUMIN.
;)
Oh The Joys--Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDD--Thank you too! And yes, of course I will still do the BWW! It's awesome incentive.
Monnik! OMG--LOL with that one--going to post that over at snark right now! Hilarious!
If my husband writes a book, I guarantee you he'll write every word while in the bathroom...
ReplyDelete(What else could take 45 minutes, twice a day?!)
TOURING THE WORLD FROM A BARSTOOL..
It should be called, WRITING THIS BOOK WHILE PASSING STOOL
LOL Alicia!!!
ReplyDeletelol! I would probably pick up that book just because it had a title like that.
ReplyDeleteOMG...when I read that post on MS I wondered if it was from you!! (insert eerie music here)
ReplyDeleteMiss Snark's opinion was really cool, wasn't it? Like you made it into a secret club already! LOL! And you have, Manic. You'll get there!!
ReplyDeleteI knew that was from you! You have a special voice!
ReplyDeletegotta do what JFK's dad did. onece you self publish buy, and have others buy, enough of them to get your book on the best seller's list. it'll take on a life of its own from there.
ReplyDeleteI saw her site yesterday and I was like GO MANIC! YEAH! Lol.
ReplyDeleteMM~ I've got to tell you that I had the best mocha-chocolatini EVER.
ReplyDeleteIt was made with Grey Goose Vodka.
Godiva liqueur.
Starbucks liqueur.
and a splash of chocolate syrup.
HEAVEN in a martini glass!!!
Alicia--it's 10:01 a.m. Can I have one now??
ReplyDelete: )
I was on my 4th one as I worte that...
