Eyeballs and Agents

My right eyeball hurts right now–chalk it up to being Monday, I suppose. Still…weird.

Anyhoo, what’s going on in the life of your soon-to-be-favorite (I hope) author? Well, after a wonderful weekend visit with my sister and her family, I’m settling down to work on the chapter outline for DEVON’S PLAYGROUND. Earlier this weekend, after an incredible read of some of my Critique Partner’s new stuff (she’s brilliant…seriously), my CP read DP (oooh…it rhymes!) and gave me her happy (well, creeped out…which is good) blessing. So now I’m pretty positive that I know what I’m doing, and that my fabulous agent will love it.

Vlad has busied himself with his own blog, of sorts. So if you’re looking to get to know him better and want to truly understand how the lack of O Positive in the fridge can make a guy angsty, then check out Vlad’s Notebook. (And while you’re wandering around my site, don’t forget to ask me for free Minion Bling and enter the Bat to School contest!)

Later this week (for all you hopeful unagented writers out there) we’ll go over some basics. Namely, how to get a reputable (and perhaps fabulous) agent.

But today, me and my throbbing eyeball are going to sit down with Stephen and Devon, and work on that chapter outline.

    Okay, this is scary — today’s post on my blog is about researching agents and editors!

    AND, I’m sitting down to do the synopsis and chapter outline for DIXIE DUST RUMORS, the YA horse racing story, that’s ready to go out in the world.

    Cue spooky music . . .

    Whoa! AND your name is Devon… *cue spookier music*

    Of course, this could only bee spookiest if my name were Dixie.

    You could try not looking through the right eye for a bit and only look at the left side of things. Could make reading a book difficult though………..:-)

    Yeah, then I’d only get half the story. ;)

    I can’t wait to see what you have to say for all of us unwash… I mean unagented writers :)

    I hope your eye feels better soon.

    On a similar note, I started the day with ibuprofen… no, it wasn’t a hangover. I busted my hump this weekend working on the pantry remodel. The wife is happy though.

  6. Heather Brewer says:

    The eye’s all better (apparently, working on scary stories fixes that). Congrats on the new pantry!

    Eeee! I can’t wait to read DP! And EGB! And…and…and EVERYTHING that you write!!!

    Awwww, Jax wins the sweetest Minion of the day award. :) =

    Hmmm. I look at those photos by each other and wonder…is Vlad Jackie’s son? Or will that be revealed in a future book?

  10. Heather Brewer says:

    Uhhh, nope! Vlad is the son of Tomas and Mellina Tod. And Jackie is a paranoraml romance goddess. And I, of course, adore them both. :)

  11. Heather Brewer says:

    Wow…that’s a fairly nasty typo on “paranormal”…

  12. Alyssa Goodnight says:

    I look forward to the agent tips!
    Checked your site–very creepy-cool!

  13. Heather Brewer says:

    Glad you like it, Alyssa!

    Tips coming soon!
