Re: What Do You Cut?
Most often I cut the little extra words that just kinda sneak in...words like "that" and "just" which kinda snuck into this sentence, just like that. (Makes you wonder how the title "He's JUST not THAT into you" ever made it off a desk...but I digress.) I guess 'HE'S N...

Re: Do you have a Deviant Art?
Ah, but they're actually resin~! With changeable eyes and wigs, and paintable faces. :3 They're also articulated for posing. :3
So they're even creepier, because they can move. Mwhaa~
And you have an interesting artstyle! It's so alive~! :3

Re: The care and feeding of an introvert
It kinda depends. I swing both ways (no perv intended). If I feel good and healthy, I like being around people, and don't mind hanging out so long as we're having fun. But sometimes my friends have family drams that cause them to treat me like a puppy and it's kinda draining. So I think...I get ener...

I happen to like Mad TV.

Do you have a Deviant Art?
Uhm...I don't know if this is allowed but it's certainly procrastinaty~! (Is that a word? XD) I will warn though, some things on there can be a little adult, so just check that you don't want adult content. :3 Or don't log in! XD I post about them enough and so on, so I thought I might say that it's...

Re: Any book collectors here?
I used to collect books but I ran out of room and felt sad about all the books that didn't have anyone to love them. So I gave a lot away to the library so they could be used and have friends. (Yes, I'm a sap.) So now I have books that I like. Artbooks. Angel books (I LOVE ANGEL RESEARCH and FICTION...

Re: How did you favorite books from childhood influence you?
I don't think it was just one book that influenced me. I always just wondered why everyone who wrote was so old when they got published. (30 and above being old, at the time.) Now I know. XD I just knew I always wanted to be like them. And live in a colony where the writer people lived so we could h...

Re: Can we start calling it something other than a query?
I would like a query letter than can holographically project how cute I am. Of course, then I remember that agents usually tell us they have no souls and I am crushed. The puppy dog eyes would probably not work. Then I could explain, "Hey, I'm a 30 year old who looks like I'm 15. Imagine how mu...

Re: How do you find your inspiration?
The story I'm doing for NaNo has been building in my head for just a few months. It came from a doll. A lot of things it seems comes from my doll hobby. And from my health. It's not the best, but I find creative ways to make my characters ill. Bradley has a liver condition. But it's no normal one. I...

Re: How do you know when to end a chapter and start a new?
I always did it by feeling but I guess I should go back and look to see if the feeling was right! XD No one has called me on it yet, though... But I am that person who has thirteen chapters only to her 110,000 word novel. Some are short. Some are long. Thirteen is a divine number. It is also to show...

Re: Share your opening sentence!
Oh, goodness...
Here is mine:

Aaaaand in saying that, I realize I called his sword iron in another section. [goes to correct]

Re: How much time do you have?
I work full time, but I usually use my lunch breaks (like now, I just edited a part based on something my beta said), my breaks, and I multi-task (I'm a computer technician so putting patches takes time). I get home at six, so after that I snack (I sometimes eat dinner but I can usually eat in front...

Re: Chasing Miracles - Christian Fantasy
I had a reply but I bit my fingers not to type it because it would have been very naughty. :3 Basically I think I should just remove all of it and take it somewhere else (like QueryShark, once I'm done with the manuscript's final polish). I'm getting nowhere but frustrated and it's not helping me. T...

Maybe a different approach is to try and model it. Here is what I have garnered from your past queries. Dear Agent, After almost five years, Carmine Caudatus has almost fulfilled the demon contract . Unfortunately, his time is almost up. If he can find the Wheel of Fate before the contract expires,...
