The Knight Agency Speed Date 2

Well, I didn't make the top 125 (chosen randomly from over 400 entrants!) to move on to the first round in The Knight Agency's Speed Date 2 contest (http://knightagency.blogspot.com/) but it was a fun experience! And I'm definitely sending The Knight Agency a query for my second MS soon. Congratulations to those moving on to the second round and good luck!!!

Amazing Opportunity For Writers!

I personally think 43 is a very respectable bowling score.

My friends do not agree.

Second Draft Done!

Well, I finished my second draft yesterday and sent it out to a couple people to read and critique. I'm on pins and needles waiting to hear what they have to say! In the meantime, I'm working on the query and synopsis to keep busy (and queries are so hard to write that I figure its better to start early).

And I just finished City of Glass, the third book in The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare, and I have to give it 5 out of 5 stars! Great pacing, great voice, and I was hooked from page one. And the battle at the end was the perfect length--much shorter than the battle at the end of the second book, but not so short it left you feeling cheated. Absolutely perfect! Can't wait for the fourth book to come out.

As a sidenote, I'm going bowling tonight with the husband and his coworkers. Hopefully I wont make a complete fool out of myself, though I usually end up getting somewhere between 30 and 60--pitiful, I know. Wish me luck!
