On being Rexroth: Living with a Literary Agent

In the world of super-agent Daphne Unfeasible, I have a lot of names. The main one is (thankfully) my own, but there are quite a few others. Some of you ktliterary.com vets might know me as WebMonkey. Thanks to Maureen Johnson, I’m also known on the interwebs as Rexroth Implausible, one half of Unfeasible-Implausible Enterprises.

I also have a lot of jobs. One of them is, as I said, webmonkey, but primarily I write stuff for a living. Part of it (the better paying part)  is Boring Writing: training manuals, online interactive courses, white papers, RFPs — business writing, they call it. Not exciting, but quite handy when it comes time for pleasant activities like buying food. The other part is Not-Boring Writing. The Not-Boring Writing doesn’t (yet) pay as well, or as reliably, but it’s a very satisfying kind of work, one that I enjoy a great deal, and which has been the source of many joyful moments (fair payment for the lurking hypertension that comes with it).

So: I’m a writer, who lives with a literary agent.

SEKRIT Project

The Web Monkey and I are deep in discussions on an exciting new SEKRIT project, which we’ll hopefully be able to reveal shortly! Anyway, it got me thinking…
I like SEKRITS — or even secrets — when I know them, but I’m not all that keen on other people keeping secrets from me. And [...]
