The Plan (that we call the plan!)

There is a story to tell you, but I don't want to tell you the story until the story has an ending, in order to be discreet and complete.

One of the purposes of keeping this journal is to document what writers go through as they submit stories and ideas to the publishing industry: to agents, to editors, to a variety of sources. I would like it to be a transparent record of my progress through those processes, so others might learn what the reality of trying to publish is, for this person, at any rate.

That said, I feel that if you're being looked at by an agent, perhaps it's wisest to keep those details discreet, until you know how things are going to turn out. Or, for those of you who know that an agent asking for chapters is merely Step One, this is me being the cool kid. Or, for those of you who are superstitious, this is me trying not to jinx things. :)

Which I might have done now, by saying too much. :D

( What do we do every night Pinky? Try to take over the world! )

You can count on me to tell you what's what as things fall through, or come to fruition. Wouldn't we all like Catherine to get a book deal, so the next 7-10 years of her life could be spent with demon binders as a young adult author? Yes? No?

I'll be back, much sooner than last time too.
