Over at the knob
I'm sitting here in a school library while the significant other, employed by the school system, does some equipment installation. It's been a whirlwind week -- capitalized with my maiden voyage into an assignment in my new job. I totally freaked out, as I usually do when confronted with a ginormous RFP questionnaire. It wouldn't have been so bad had I not spent SUNDAY prepping for the project that went to someone else. Quickly things settled down, but it was non stop -- so very little ME TIME at work. That's okay.
Finally catching up on some personal writing projects. The writing team I'm with revised our non-fiction book proposal and now that is off to the agent for another round of submissions to editors. Not sure what's going to happen there, if anything. The book-buying audience continues to dwindle, and with the economy sucky as it is, not sure how much buying will be going on yet this fall. We do have a solid list of writers for our project, there's timely interest in our topic, so 'conditions are favorable.' We'll have to see.
Next up, the mystery. There is a mystery writing seminar at the Loft this fall, and I need to be ready with a pitch I'm sure. If the VAST audience to this blog has comments or thoughts on readying a pitch -- where to look for inspiration or easily swipable pitch material, let me know. Think mystery.
Thanks!
