Need a good laugh?

Here are two:

"SlushPile Hell: One grumpy agent, a sea of query fails, and other publishing nonsense." Writhing websites! Deer agent! Books dictated by angels! Wearing chinos in the spirit world! It's a good thing I was alone in the house last night, because this site had me laughing like a crazy person.

"The Hater's Guide to the Williams-Sonoma Catalog." (Some profanity.) Acorn twine holders! Hungarian grain sacks! Seventy-two-dollar biscuits! White-trash-monk fruitcakes! It's a good thing I was alone in the house this morning, because . . . well, you know.

Eeheehee, thank you. The quote is from "Kiss Kiss Bang Bang," the best movie no one has ever seen and eminently quotable. It stars Robert Downey Jr, Val Kilmer, and Michelle Monaghan, and certainly earns its R rating, but I strongly recommend it if you're not easily offended. It's one of my favorite RDJ movies.

You haven't, but I just found it. And now I'm reading it instead of writing. *headdesk*

Well, it's very useful! :-) Or I find it so. Rachelle is very much the tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners sort, but then it's a tough-as-nails, take-no-prisoners business. So I think her approach is probably spot-on!

I also know a good site where you can buy a proposal template. Should you ever need such a thing, let me know. It's by a friend of mine who's had several books (fiction and nonfiction) published. She knows her stuff.
