Things on Tuesday

Another week of hard work ahead. But I worked all weekend so at least I'm not behind. Yet.

.

1. My Managing Editor's budget is due tomorrow. Hopefully after that, she'll be able to look at the proposed cover art for The Invisible Sister and let me know if it's a go. I hope so. The art is GORGEOUS and I really want to show it to you!!

.

2. I received a request for a full last week on a query I sent over a year ago. So if you're waiting on replies--don't give up!! Even if you're not waiting on a response, but staring at a rejection, remember Winston Churchill's famous quote: Never, never, never give up.

.

3. March is Small Press Month and the authors at Indie-Debut are busy working on blog events, interviews and fun giveaways to celebrate our own independent publishers. More info to come as plans unfold.

.

4. How I know I'm a writer, #1. Setting: Family game night.

Trivial Pursuit Question: What meter was invented in 1935.

Me (thinking): Oh geez. Some poet came up with a new one in 1935? That's kinda late. Who would that be? What poets were around then? e e cummings? Is that even the right time frame?

I'm just about to say, "Let's go with Iambic Pentameter" because that's all I can remember, when my teammate says:

I'm pretty sure it's the parking meter.
