YESTERDAY oh god yesterday I was kind of alternating between hyperventilating and clinging to writing club (and then, like, doing both simultaneously) because I GOT A PARTIAL OFFER ON MY BOOK ( Read more... )

do i really need a real life tag?, freaking the fuck out, writing: i does it

YAY BB!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, think of it this way - even if nothing comes of it, you should no longer sweat your cover letters and summaries and all that shit you had to do when you first sent the book out because you convinced these people to give you a chance with ONE FUCKING SENTENCE, BB!!

I would be so fucking wary of giving out my fandom space to some place I was looking to get published by. Not like in a 'oh that's a scam' way or anything, but just in like a 'don't cross the beams, Ray!' kind of way. But yeah, boo those other guys for being chickenshit!

I can't keep my fingers crossed for six months, but I'll cross the two littlest toes on my left foot for you, bb!

ugh bb i will try to keep that in mind but i JUST NOW discovered I spelled turquoise wrong throughout the ENTIRE DOCUMENT and SPELLCHECK DIDN'T CATCH IT *headdesks forever and ever and ever*

Yeaaahhhhh. LUCKILY I don't reblog hardcore porn stuff (or anything stronger than kisses really, and that's only rarely) because my rl friends in writing club follow me and i don't want to freak them out. And it's not like they followed me! (Or vice versa!) SO! (trying not to panic o.o)

klsdafask bb you're so sweet! *CLINGS*

dear, turquoise is one of those words no one is really sure how to spell. and it might even have more than one "correct" spelling. Also, I'm sure the Tumblr people will recognize that your account is real while the other are fake...plus your writing speaks for itself!

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh i'm just frustrated that word didn't catch it. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE SMARTER AT SPELLING THAN ME.

Your tumblr is fun to follow and if they didn't expect fannish stuff or LOLcats or whatever, they probably wouldn't be interested in tumblr. They must have a pretty good idea of what to expect. As for the writing, you're good at it and they will see that in your first 10 pages, let alone 50. I don't blame you for wigging out though. Hang in there. It will probably be a bit like a carnival ride...screaming in terror and have a good time all at once.

That's what I'm thinking/hoping? I wish they hadn't asked for my tumblr though :// But lakjflskdjfal bb you're such a sweetheart THANK YOU! Ahahaha yeah, carnival ride sounds about right--like one of those bungey sling-shot things? *CLINGS*
