Since Robert & I had the best scores & grades, we were chosen to dissect it, in front of the class.<br /><br />Two things I learned that day. 1, dead animals that haven't been professionally preserved are, shall we say, rather aromatic; and 2, they have a lot of blood in them.<br /><br />Still , wandering around HS in bloodstained clothes <i>does</i> attract attention, especially of the people you crushed on; who now will never speak to you because they are convinced that not only are you the class weirdo, you're also an axe murderer.khazar-khumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-8209689869883166942012-04-01T11:14:15.572-04:002012-04-01T11:14:15.572-04:00Minnie Driver!...

"A heroine who always gets her man, but never quite gets him to the altar" is probably all you need to say to receive a contract by return post.<br /><br />#3 sounds a little too much like what editors really get.<br /><br />But, now, here's a thing. Yesterday I was digging through some papers, looking for the damn 1099's, and came across a copy of a query I wrote several years ago to an editor at Scholastic.<br /><br />This query was both bogus and sad. It broke all the rules of querying. But the editor requested the manuscript. (What the editor did not do was buy the manuscript.)<br /><br />So now I have a question. To what extent do you think the internet write-o-sphere has created the idea of The Perfect Query? And now that it exists, does it actually matter?AlaskaRavenclawnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-23252528362459436652012-04-01T10:24:10.190-04:002012-04-01T10:24:10.190-04:00These examples are so helpful--I now see where I w...These examples are so helpful--I now see where I went wrong.
