Can I get a Woot Woot?
It appears that I am finished with editing The Cat's Apprentice. Yep, finished, finito, all done. I'll probably let it sit for a few weeks and then give it another going over.
But for right now it is done.
If anybody wants to read the finished version (who knows, you might catch a huge mistake) just drop me a note and I'll whisk you off a pdf.
And now...back to my serial killer!!!!
How I have missed him.
I just read in a wedding comm about a girl whose Mother and StepFather planned a trip to the same city as them during their honeymoon. Can you imagine having your folks coming along for something so private? Do people really think parents are welcome on a honeymoon? WTF are people thinking? H and I are going with close friends, see, that makes sense because they are friends. Parents barging in is just awful. **shudder**
Kim sent me this, I thought it was hilarious.

If you can't read it, clicky to make biggie.

My Matron of Honor went to Florida for her and her parents were there too. I'm not sure how much time they spent together, but I'm sure they spent part of the honeymoon with her parents (probably not the GOOD parts, though)

I'll send you a pdf of the novel. I'd love to hear what you think. It's very different than the first one.

I'm now waiting for the version I get to PAY for. ;D But I've read a bit of the serial killer story and am really enjoying it (but I'm not all caught up with what you've done so far yet).
Hah, I really enjoyed that cartoon!

Some day, the serial killer will be in a buyable format as well. ;-]

**If possible before Sat morning, we are heading up to Breckenridge for a week and I would love to read it while I am there and have some quiet.**

I think you may be the only one who got it. Everyone else seems to still be pissed that nothing happened. I read the Late Show with David Letterman blog every day (it's called the Wahoo Gazette, it's at http://www.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/wahoo/ ). If you're not familiar, it's written by a backstage guy at the show and he tell what happens backstage during the show and at the end rants about things. He was ranting about Sopranos the other day, so I emailed him your explanation. Here's what he wrote back to me:
Ooh, I like that one. I'll use it at my next party and pretend it's mine. Thanks.

<My initial note to him. You're the friend!>
Re: Sopranos I've never watched even a single episode of the Sopranos but I have a friend who has this take on it: There was a flashback scene in the episode where Tony and Bobby are talking about when "it" happens (when someone gets whacked or when you die) and Bobby says something like "I suppose it all goes black". So at the end of the episode when it all went black, that was Tony getting whacked in front of his family.
Be assured if I use this at my next party, I'll give you due credit.

Just kidding, I'll send it along.

But you should still buy it when it comes out. ;-]
Re: Meow
I'll send off the pdf in a few minutes.
And this does not releive you of your obligation to buy the book when it comes out next year. ;-]

(Anonymous) 2007-06-19 03:08 pm (UTC)(link)Also I got confused as to who "their" referred to. Did Tiza enter with her? Or should it be to "her" great surprise? Lower down on the same page "He didn't act rude of suspicious" replace of with or.
That's all I got so far. I've read thru p 112. I like it.
Do you have a regular email address or do you prefer I communicate this way. You may email it to me if you don't want it published here.

Yeah, I'll be going over it again for typos and just general flakiness. I'm done with the huge plot editing though, which was enormous because this book was a mess when I first finished.
I dont' think it's as good as my first novel (which you can buy in April), but it's a fairly gripping read, I think.
GUESS WHAT!
Okay sweetie, first of all ~ I loved it!!! It kept me guessing at the end. =) and of course I kept guessing wrong...lol!!
When I get home tomorrow (sat) or some time on Sunday, I will send you an email with the stuff I caught and any other notes I have for you.
It truly makes me think twice about my lil' kitty now... *wink*
Thank you so much for giving me the oppritunity to help you out with this.
Re: GUESS WHAT!
I'm not too worried about grammatical or spelling errors right now. I'm going to go over it again for those later. But any plot or character things, I'd love to know what you think.
