I didn’t know that mentioning other agents by name was a no-no. How did you find out? Did they tell you?

I second that, WB – I’d never heard of ShortStops.

Mad Iguana posted an update 7 years, 10 months ago
Hello. It seems I can only access the Activity wall in here when I’m in work, so I’ll say hi to ye all here. Great to see so many new folks joining (Hi everyone!).
Hopefully I’ll figure out a way to access other parts of the site in work, otherwise I’ll have to talk to you in the middle of the night when I should be writing, but I can probably…[Read more]-
Hi Mad 🙂

Hi Daeds. Is A Black Matter for the King not out yet? I think I got it delivered to my Kindle a couple of days ago…
-
Ah, therein lies a tale…as far as the marketing is concerned, we launch on the 7th 😉
-
Excellent. I won’t start reading it til then.

Peeking is fine

MAAAAD! Hi!

Hi Mad 🙂

(Are we seeming too needy, guys? We don’t want to scare him away.)
-
Hi JB. Not at all, WB. I’ve got a compulsive need to be loved, so this is all good.

-
Howdy WB. You keeping well??
-
I am currently manifesting as a small, whimsical beach rock. Going well, so far.
-
Whimsical, eh? Ah, that’s so you.
-
And yourself?
-
-
I’m alright thanks. Finding my feet in the new study, getting writing. If I’m manifesting, I think I’m a small tired grapefruit.

It also seems that I can only see a limited no. of replies to these updates. Interesting.
-
It seems to depend on how you approach it. If you go from the notification, not all replies appear. Go through your own profile, on ‘Activity’, and it should all show up
-
Couldn’t reply there though (I think that’s work related though). But now I can see everything in the main Activity place. Happy days!
-
We’re still at the wandering around the new building/complex, opening doors and being confused we are not back at the main lobby stage, aren’t we?
-
Indeed. I look forward to finding the door that leads to John Malkovich’s brain.

*waves at Mad while conjuring a tiny tired grapefruit room in my brains that he may rest his tiny tired grapefruit self* Don’t know about Malkovich but hoping my brains will do 😀

*Waves back*

As requested, here is a copy of the cover letter I used on submission. It wasn’t actually the version I sent my now-agent Sarah Manning back in 2016, because I didn’t even know to write a proper cover letter the first time I went to FoW, but this is the one I was using when I formally submitted to agents in 2017.
This one was for my one-to-one…[Read more]

Wow, what a climb, Raine. Did it give you courage, though, having that first agent interested? Having 50% full requests is amazing! (what is the “other stuff”?)
So is it your third book that’s out on submission at the mo?
wenbikes. Yeah. I have those.

If I was Harry, I’d be taking a good look at my direct debits and standing orders right now 🙁
-
What have I missed??
-
Nothing definite as yet, but SocialGo, the Cloud, YWP all inaccessible right now
-
Ah, I wondered – not been able to get onto Cloud for a couple of days, but haven’t been online much.
-
I haven’t been able to get onto the cloud since yesterday morning.
-
I could access it yesterday but today- nada

Yikes, Debi – you don’t have a course running do you? Keeping fingers crossed…

Oh lordy, good point. Hope it comes back
