When you have Monday off, all the other days are off too. I had to put the timer on to remind myself to leave on time, but when it started beeping, I was eating my lunch and thought it had something to do with my food. I turned it off. It wasn't until twenty minutes later that I realized I had to leave. Do you think that was the holiday effect or was that due to my insomnia-induced short circuitry? Or perhaps the newspaper I was reading was so scintillating I couldn't tear myself away, you know, For Better or Worse, Zits, and LuAnn. We also get Ann Landers, but I really like Carolyn Hax's advice column, "Tell Me About It."

By the way, don't forget to stop by
Ello's blog. She's interviewed Dr. Gigi Durham, author of
The Lolita Effect, The Media Sexualization of Young Girls and What we can Do About It. Interesting conversation going on over there.
My true love gave to me--- oodles of requested material to send out (hey, I'll take it).
Doing the last of my follow ups today, will finish up initial submissions over the next two days, might call a potential client about starting marketing the first of January. What am I going to do with myself once that's done?
Start on my pile of queries and manuscripts I've asked to see, my little beasties. So, if you've sent something my way, like, ages ago, look for that reply to come soon.
Why do we close down to subs until March? Quite simply, it takes me that long to go through all of the queries and material I request, sign new clients and get them on their way. By the time I finish the last reply, it's time for me to take queries once again.
I'm actually a bit ahead of schedule this time around, so I MIGHT open up in February (depends on how good those requested fulls are, hence how many new clients we sign). I can say the Young Adult is slim pickings for us. We simply have sooo many great clients producing new stuff to market.
What can you submit to me even though we're closed to subs? A beautifully put together literary story, though I'm not keen on literary romance. We already have a work somewhat similar to Lovely Bones, but could handle another like it. How about some real thrills?
I always find that a holiday throws me off. It doesn't take me long to get out of synch with my normal routine.
Same with me, Charles. Especially long holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, which I love, but the hiatus takes a lot of self-discipline to come out of.
Alarm clocks are easy to ignore. I used to have to put about three of them around my bed in order to get myself up in the morning; I got all too good at flicking the first one off -- and oversleeping.
Thanks Danette! I'm only now getting my act together to come around to everyone!
