Things You'll Never Hear A Writer Say...

Yippee! Another rejection! Think I'll pin this one.


Really? It's been only six months since I sent you that proposal? Gosh, I totally lost track of time.


No thanks, Thomas Nelson and Tyndale. Great offers, but really...I'd rather just put my stuff on Smashwords.


I earned another one-star on Amazon for my latest release? Yee-haw! Scathing reviews are my favorites!


Of course I'd like to cut my manuscript by 25k, throw in a new plot twist, add in a major character and get that back to you by the end of the week. Not a problem.


Sweet! I love being at the bottom of the slush pile. So much cozier.


Contracts make me nervous. I sure hope I never have to sign one or I'll be swigging back Benadryl to stave off the ol' hives. 


Whew. Glad I'm so good at telling instead of showing. Hmm. Maybe I could teach a workshop.


I didn't really want to win that award anyway.


How thoughtful of you to tell me why my characters are all one-dimensional and that you think my plot was written by a twelve-year-old. You rock!
