AWOL?

I’ve been at a convention this weekend, and so have been very busy. And then, today, work was very intense. I leave you all to get back to my HH: PW outline, which didn’t get touched this weekend, because of all the teaching. It’s good. I’m ahead of where I should be, but I HATE getting off the routine.

Anyway, why write here at all? My copies of Indelible Companions arrived, the small publication with Yellow Cat and the Man in it. Yellow Cat appears to be the longest piece. Bryon picked them up Saturday morning by accident, and read the piece, and had to cry for fifteen minutes. I looked them over in the room, read it, and had to cry for fifteen minutes. We have to stop doing that.

So, I think this is all of you reading this who asked for a copy.

Cat
Dan and Lisa
Mark and Michelle

After I factor in family, I still have 2 extra, so I can’t figure out if those more comps, or if two more of you out there want them? Please let me know, because I’ve (stupidly) misplaced my list. If I’ve missed you, I’m sorry.

Must away to write!

Agently Question

I have a question for all of you agented writers. Recently, July 25th, an agent wrote me via email and said that he would send me some comments on Substance soon.

By the way, yes, this is a very good sign, I know. I think there might be some interest there, else why not just send me a rejection? At any rate, the mystery continues. Three weeks have gone by with no sign of any email or snail mail, both of which methods have been used by the agent in question.

How long should I wait before asking the agent if he might have sent anything? Would one month be appropriate, or should I wait two? I understand that publishing is a slow industry, and if the agent’s life has been like my own work life recently, I certainly understand. Yet, I do not wish to miss an opportunity by being unresponsive.

What would you do to look professional in this situation? I really don’t want to look more like a noob than I already do.

Thanks for any advice.

Hulk Hercules: Professional Outline

Right. So, the master outline for Hulk Hercules is done. Hoo and hah.

It’s got subplots and action. It’s got romance. It’s got historical perspective. AND it’s got wrestling.

Tomorrow we begin again with the writing, so look for a Herc-o-meter near you.
