*sighs* Yep, I don't unders...I WILL THANK YOU!<br /><br />*sighs* Yep, I don't understand the theory of working on only one project at a time. Why not work on six, I ask? *hysterical laughter* I'M SO GLAD YOU THINK FORMULAS IS COOL. I LOVE IT TOO. (I ALSO LOVE CAPS. CAPS ARE FUN.)<br /><br />Tom Holland is basically a nobody (or was, anyways, before Spider-Man). He was in "In the Heart of the Sea" with Chris Hemsworth like last year. He's a different dude to Tom Hollander, but he is British. <br /><br />Yeah, basically if I could pre-purchase tickets for the new Spider-Man movie next year today, I would. I'm one happy camper.

You do indeed ...KEEP US UPDATE WITH ZOE AND DEATH!<br /><br />You do indeed have a lot of projects! (Your supplies made me laugh.) From those one line summaries, Formulas appeals to me the most, because STEREOTYPE BUSTING FANTASY, YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU. I am not sorry I asked!<br /><br />WHO'S TOM HOLLAND!? (There's a British actor called Tom Hollander but he is definitely not Spiderman XD )Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08057480293595295502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902120443627257365.post-51525677024651352632016-06-10T18:21:56.231+10:002016-06-10T18:21:56.231+10:00Thanks for the encouragement, Heather!Thanks for the encouragement, Heather!Victoria Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036742461356732142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5902120443627257365.post-73185968621272364922016-06-10T18:21:32.492+10:002016-06-10T18:21:32.492+10:00Dreadlocks = pirate. Obviously. We all know this. ...Dreadlocks = pirate. Obviously. We all know this. <br /><br />Oh, I'm doing fine, just needed a good rant in which I could mention Spider-Man and pirates. I do hate the querying process, though, because you basically have to ask a stranger for a job. Which I hate doing. *bangs face on keyboard* But I'll be fine. Thanks, though!<br /><br />At the moment, I'm querying "Zoe+Death, BFFs" and hopefully I'll be able to get to querying other projects soon, once I've finished editing them. <br /><br />Other projects? *pulls out clipboard, laminated palm cards, 25,000 word essay, opens up PowerPoint* I'm glad you asked. I have a) "The Creature of the Night" which basically sucks at the moment (even though it's like draft 9) but I have plans to completely gut it and do it properly, b) "Zoe+Death, BFFs" which, in my humble and totally non-biased opinion is awesome (basically the MC's BFF is Death), c) "Formulas" where a dragon rescues the prince from the princess (beta reading at the moment), d) "The Dimension Jumper" where she, you guessed it, can jump dimensions (Camp NaNo project, draft 1 1/2), e) "The School Captain" which is a contemporary about sisters and a school captain campaign and f) "Red Rubber Boots" which is draft 1 of basically me dealing with my experience with cancer. Are you sorry you asked yet?<br /><br />EMILY. IT'S TOM HOLLAND. (ALL HAIL!) BASICALLY HE'S THE BEST THING EVER. GO WATCH CIVIL WAR IMMEDIATELY.

Once I have my dreads, right?...#20 sounds feasible. Once I have my dreads, right?! <br /><br />OK but seriously I hope you're OK! I know it's a cliche, but just remind yourself how many publishers rejected Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone ... !<br /><br />Which book are you querying, anyway?! And what other project are you working on? And who is the new Spiderman?! (I literally haven't heard!)
