Life as a Book Editor

In the form of a cartoon. You can have a look Here. Thanks to Nathan Bransford for the link.

And if you've ever attended the Surrey International Writers' Conference and the "Surrey Idol" - where a panel of agents listen as Jack Whyte reads the first page (paragraph, sentence, word...) from a pile of unpublished manuscripts until enough agents raise their hands to indicate "STOP!" - you'll know it's not too far off the mark.

Bon week-end à tous! I'm off to prime the pump.

(I know it sounds like a euphemism from the urban dictionary of slang but I'm being quite literal.)

And here are some random photos for Brenda. Because she asked. Go Nikon D200! And kudos to the 50mm lens. I'm in love with that puppy.

Did you read the entire weeks worth of strips. They were all funny. You should if you have time. At comics.com you can read them all in order.

The flowers are just beautiful. My poor poppies have lost their heads. :-( Left their little petals all over the place. *sigh*
