For a free trip to Bermuda, I might write up your synopsis. *grin* Thanks for stopping by and making me smile.<br /><br />Deb, I'm trying to stay busy...kind of. I've kind of been procrastinating on the manuscript I finished. Not too good to admit, I guess. But I do feel like a real writer, so like you say, that's cool! ;-)Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-79598911345946107632010-05-18T12:58:10.300-04:002010-05-18T12:58:10.300-04:00Good for you!

Fortunately now that I have an agent, I don't have to send out those initial queries, but I still have to work on book proposals, and YES the synopsis. As much as I try to bribe her with champagne, chocolates and free trips to Bermuda, she will not write my synopsis for me. It sucks, but there you go.

I also have a few gift cards for Dairy Queen - so for every 'yep, I'm interested' I go get a blizzard (can you see a pattern here???)
