I fell in love with 'Control Issues.' I am dying to know what happens in the rest of that story. I think it's just fabulous. I love the author's spin on things, and I think she has a real winner on her hands. To me, it seems like something you would rep. My guess is she has a spunky little picture somewhere to fit in with all the other super fun clients you have.

I know you will sign this girl. Her writing's great and I need to hear the rest of the story. How could you not?

Since I was in the contest I can't play by the rules, but I can say that Touching the Surface was my favorite, before you posted your winners.

I am working on my submission for you, I just need to get the synopsis in order. I hope to have something for you by the end of the week.

Thanks for all your work with the contest, and for your kind thoughts about my entry.

This is awesome.

Lessons learned…So far, I see I give people about four-five sentences before I'm bored.

Grammar issues are grating.

I hate running into a plethora of weird names.

Irony is good. I want to start off with character + action, not just action.

NO MORE EYES.

After a series of pages without action, a page that handles action well is a breath of fresh air.

People who talk down to MG audiences make my teeth grate (Hello? Remember fourth grade? You were SMARTER than that).

I want to say I just don't care for women's fiction, but it's not true–but I know that's not true–but the women's fiction barely gets a sentence or two before I'm tired of it.

Fiction vs. the moral of the story = give me fiction!

Control Issues and No Pet is Worth All This! are the two I hope get published, so I can read the rest.

Oh darn, I've already looked at the ones you've requested so I can't play I get email updates from Authoress's blog.

Of the ones you chose, Control Issues caught my attention over the others. It's probably because it seems more my genre, but I did like Touching the Surface as well.
