Nuttin' Honey

So, all those great leads and interviews and nothing's happened. I'm still in touch with the one person who almost offered me a job, and I think at some point it may turn into something; meanwhile I could really use a positive response from someone/anyone.

Anyway, it's Friday, so enough of that.

I'm thinking more and more of ways to try and get our book published. Some folks know of the book a friend and I wrote; some of you have even had a chance to read parts of it. (Sorry Marian - it's coming, I promise!) I've had positive feedback and then some negative feedback as well, so we're reassessing things. My nephew thinks we should try and publish it online - he says it's good. Someone else thinks we need to turn it into a 30 minute tv show. Everyone agrees it's funny - it just needs editing. I'd just like to have someone I don't know at all (oh, you know, like an editor...) edit it and then we could maybe publish it as a book and see where it goes from there. (J.K. Rowling - we want to be just like her!) I think it's pretty funny - it makes me laugh out loud when I go back and read it. I'm sure all writers think their stuff is the great American novel, but I do think it's good. My cousin says it's hard to be creative and easy to be a critic. (I don't take criticism very well, apparently.) My co-author and I think a lot alike except she's a little more a charter member of the grammar police than I am. I just read about 50 pages of an unbelievably bad book and tossed it in the trash. I can't believe it even got published - and our stuff is so much better! And the thing is, we have so much more to write, we're writing new sections for the next book - we can't even seem get the first one edited and have almost a hundred pages written on the next one. Go figure.
