It's only happened to me once or twice, but man, I cling to that. Congratulations!<br /><br />Love the exchange-- extraordinarily bleak, even, but in the best possible way. A great example of how dialogue can really show us who we're dealing with, even out of context.Kateyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727622678452936037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604033530537822263.post-78005061418643044202009-12-03T11:27:59.469-06:002009-12-03T11:27:59.469-06:00Danielle - please don't...not before you read ...Danielle - please don't...not before you read the rest. ;)<br /><br />Barry - Thanks.<br /><br />Carrie - Um, I sort of did that on purpose.

I started writing with "small press" in mind. Either way, I need to knock out a query letter, synopsis, etc. I'm usually way too excited to get it out there, but these things take time.Aaron Polsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15173267932358617304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5604033530537822263.post-19223675347899339032009-12-02T13:07:44.808-06:002009-12-02T13:07:44.808-06:00Quick and dirty?
