Please Sir May I Have Some More?

[whipchick]

This is a new section from a YA novel in progress, a black comedy about a school shooter. The Fundraiser table currently holds a Christmas-tree sale put on by the Rojans all-girl student service club. "Eyedropper" is the name Aurora is called--there's a story, but you don't have to know it for this excerpt.

Reminds me of my HS days, ugh. Well, now I want to know what happens next!

Peace~~~D

You had me at "a black comedy about a school shooter". I'd read that book any day.

Hope you're having fun at the conference! I'm debating whether to submit to Clarion or Tin Roof or something else but the cost + fear of rejection are stymieing me.

Thanks - I'm totally hitting you up for a read when it's done

Thanks! I liked your article. I shall have to look into some writing bootcamps for the future.

So happy to read another installment of this!

[whipchick]

Thanks, that warms my heart! I'm about 2/3 of the way through and I'd like to finish it in the next five months - I'm at a stage in my career where I can't do the things I want to do without a published book.

"...Like one of those people driving a truck with a Confederate flag, yelling yee-haw out the window on a Saturday night." Love it! AW
