I’m feeling tons better, and life is slowly getting back under control. So, ta-da, one blog post before the weekend. Watch, now no one will comment because I said I wouldn’t be here again until next week.
Not getting any writing done, but on Monday I had a 90-minute long Skype brainstorming session with a former critique partner, and now I have a ton of excellent revision notes for SEX, PIs & PACKING TAPE. Really looking forward to solidifying my approach to the revisions and digging into that book again. Will pass the notes by a writing friend who critiqued the full first, though. I have another manuscript I can work on in the meantime.
Guess what? I’ve already received, signed and mailed back the hard copy of the contract for the HEAD OVER HEELS manga rights. When I approved the contract via email (last week) and my contact in the Tuttle-Mori contracts department said I would receive the hard copy contract soon, she wasn’t fooling. I don’t think I’ve ever received a contract that quickly.
Also, I find it interesting that this contract was the easiest to understand and read of any I’ve ever purused for either myself or Penny. In other words, the easiest to read and understand contract from any North American publisher with whom I’ve dealt. The legalities are all in place, but not in a “foreign language,” to speak. They’re written in plain English. What a switch!
Have a great weekend, Cindy!
Glad to hear things are looking up again, Cindy 🙂 That Skype session sounds cool – I really should try it out again. But it means buying a mic.
Great that the contract came so soon and was so easy to read. Hope the book is released as quickly 🙂
Enjoy your weekend!
Cindy, I hope all this good stuff — this contract and not being sick — is the start of wonderful things coming your way. 🙂
Hey, I got comments! Thanks, guys.
I’m attending a family reunion on Sunday, so am looking forward to a great weekend. If the weather’s nice, the dh and I will ride his Harley (it’s about an hour away).
Teresa, brainstorming over Skype is great. I have a desktop, and a mic came with it. I tried buying a headset for the brainstorming, but it plugs into the back of the computer, which would be okay if I didn’t have to unplug my speakers first. I don’t want to have to pull out the computer tower every time I use the headphones, so I took them back.
