Tater | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 03:51 pm     Thanks gang! This has gone even better than expected! They’re so many amazing choices. You really got onto it! MY choice comes from the help of Slothkitten she submitted-Lethal Lipstickers. I’m gonna twist it a tad so the name of my novel is (drum roll) The Lipstick Avengers I will try to include you all on the cover, even if it’s in really tiny writing!. Your contributions will always be remembered in my heart. Thank you. Now on to find an agent… Maybe that’s another thread! LOL! Tater xoxo PS. Never give up Slothkitten! |
Kristylovesbb | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 04:21 pm     Congratulations Slothkitten. |
Tabbyking | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 06:12 pm     you go, girl! congratulations, sloth! ah, tater, finding an agent. saying that would need a complete thread is right! about 8 years ago, i wrote 2 manuscripts and found an agent. i was lucky. i sent out 6 queries and one of them bit. she didn't even write to me, she called me to ask if i would consider having my book made into a movie....my agent sent one of my stories (about my 30-day marriage to a murderer) to 5 producers. unfortunately, it never got picked up. but i did get some excitement signing all the forms and cashing my one-dollar check to signify my agreement to my agent having my life-rights for 3 years. it was kind of exciting to hear the amounts movies paid out--from movie of the week to cable channels to big screen. (i had originally intended my writings to be novels, but my agent wanted at least the one for movie options.) i wish you all the best and hope you get past the early excitement and into the real published and money-making group!! maybe i'll try again okay, actually another agent bit on the comedy i wrote about my year on the grand jury. unfortunately, he died. well, not on purpose. he called one night to ask about some revisions and a few days later when i called with them, his partner told me my agent died during a march showing displeasure on the o.j. verdict. i sure know how to pick them! |
Sia | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 07:13 pm     Tater, I'm very late coming to the party, but I thought of "You Can't Hide Your Lying Eyes." (The guy may have altered his looks via plastic surgery, but the look in his steely, heartless, cold eyes remains unchanged.) |
Tater | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 09:07 pm     Better late than never Sia! ANd you are very right Sia. That just happens to be a line in my book !!! Tabby, I will keep on truckin as they say. Once a writer always a writer. I'm sure you will continue your path. To say that I am flabergasted about your novel is and understatement. You need to to memories of a Tabby! As for me writig is the easy part. Now comes the real work! And I know how hard it is. So part two of this journey begins. |
Tabbyking | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 09:17 pm     make sure you don't pick an agent who wants money to critique or look over your work. there are many honest ones who don't want a penny up front! i found mine through a paperback book on literary agents. |
Slothkitten | Monday, October 27, 2003 - 09:31 pm     Tater-To say I'm thrilled to death and flabbergasted is not enough...you'd actually have to hear the whoop's and see the dance of joy!!! OK,simmer down now...good luck on your writing and publishing endeavor's.Sound's like a great read,very witty,let us all know,you know you have a built-in fan base already right here. Speaking of witty...Tabby,you killed on this thread!!!!Please,write another book or get the other published.Get a new agent.Lot's of healthy ones out there just waiting for you to come along and make both of your fortunes! |
