I wish I were still a kid during Halloween time. Finding the perfect costume--somehow I think I'd go as a lost sock this year--the smells in the air, getting candy, the excitement of the evening in general!
Luckily for the past 2 Halloweens I have been living with my nephew, so I got the chance to see the perfect costume and be a part of the evening with him. This Halloween, however, I am on my own. So I dressed my teddy bear up as Batman and the Sister Missionaries are coming over. I doubt we'll get any Trick-or-Treaters. We never do. Everyone hits the town these days.
Speaking of Batman, I'd date him. Some reasons why: 1. The Batcave! How cool would that place be? Just think of all the buttons to push! 2. The Batsuit! He has so many cool gadgets. Besides, he looks pretty good in the Batsuit, doesn't he? 3. The fact that he's a superhero through gadgets and willpower only--no radioactivity that causes him to turn into a spider--let's face it, who knows what else Spiderman is going to develop over the years. And he's not an illegal alien like Superman. 4. Bruce Wayne is pretty hot too.

Loooooong Time
Wow, it's been a while since I've posted anything!
Days go by here. Our computer died and we got a new one--one of those all-in-one jobbies with a touchscreen. We got a new puppy, one of Ziggy's sisters, actually. Her name is Easter and she's a little peanut. She looks so much smaller than Ziggy, it is hard to believe they are from the same litter! To me, Easter doesn't look much like a Jack Russell, with those short little legs, but she's still adorable. She's just settling in. I have been working on my book and am pretty happy with the development of it so far. We're going to Kurt and Kat's pretty soon for Kaelan's 4th birthday. I can't believe he's so old already!

Aggressive
I got an email from my agent today announcing that she thinks it is officially time to get aggressive with pitching my manuscript. I thought we already were...
Basically she will send me a list of publishing houses and then I have to pick how many and which ones we will be attacking. This means that my agents do all the work so far as contacting the publishing house, writing the query letter, printing out my manuscript and setting up the entire pitch. I foot the bill.
Ouch!
However, I think I have made up my mind to do it. I would have to pay for it if I were to do this on my own, after all, and they do know what they are doing.
So I guess we're getting aggressive...
