Laird, husband, warrior. Can't you just picture it? Boy, I can!!!! It would be the coup of the century if I got him. Hell, it'd be the coup of the century if I get the movie off the ground, period! That's the stuff dreams are made of. And besides, stranger things have happened ... not to me, of course, but ...<BR/><BR/>Revisions are the way to go.

I can only imagine how frustrating it must be. I think that may be why I still drag my feet doing revisions, at least now I am not suffering daily blows to my literate ego.<BR/><BR/>I'll still keep my fingers crossed for you!<BR/><BR/>TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-72350734679662843182008-04-12T08:03:00.000-04:002008-04-12T08:03:00.000-04:00The agent search is painfully slow. Out of the 78 ...The agent search is painfully slow. Out of the 78 queries I sent out, there are 28 who have yet to respond. The rest have replied with a "no, thanks" letter. The 4 who asked to see the mss eventually said "no, thanks," as well. This game really sucks!<BR/><BR/>I am planning to go to a nearby Agent Pitch Conference in July to sit down for a face-to-face with some agents. I feel I may have a better shot that way.<BR/><BR/>If not, then I'll use my old POD publisher and go that route. I just want it out there. It's all such a monotonous waiting game. I may have patience, but I fear it's wearing thin.<BR/><BR/>On the brighter side, my screenplay is being pitched in Hollywood, and yesterday, I sent a query for it to Gerard Butler's agent, now that he's between scripts. Hey, you won't know till you try, right?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the support.<BR/><BR/>MaryMary Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09099418115687661920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2298154125823127605.post-3065843528470497042008-04-11T11:52:00.000-04:002008-04-11T11:52:00.000-04:00Thanks for sharing that Mary!

I am still dying to read your second book. I HATE the wait , just as I'm sure that you HATE it even more than myself!<BR/><BR/>Glad to see you post, I kept pulling up your blog, and although I was greeted with a wonderful view of the de-kilted hiney, it's always good to hear what you have to say!<BR/><BR/>TerriTerriRainerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301763290901887933noreply@blogger.com
