well, the outline is retooled. i need to make the finished chapters match the outline now. then i work on the one sheet. one piece of paper to explain who i am, why i'm an exciting author and share pieces of the book oh yeah, with an overview. if i had my druthers, this would be written by someone else. i'm no good at summarizing my own work or plugging myself.

we're waiting to hear from a couple of names on advice on the proposal. one already contacted never had to use a proposal, his books were just published. that happens when you're a big enough name. he was willing to answer questions, though and that was very cool of him.

okay, back to work, a friend is coming over for a little while. i need to have something accomplished by the time he gets here.
