Ohs Noes, Where's Dem Posts?
I deleted dem posts! That's right, all the posts have gone poof so that I can start fresh. Isn't that nice? I also put up a new picture under the title! Oooo, pretty!
And now down to business. What have I been up to? Well, I've graduated from CalArts, so that's done. I've also gotten a job. It's a nice job, with pleasant people and steady hours. This means I have time every night to write. Whoo hoo!
Since this was supposed to be a writing blog, let's talk about that writing, shall we? Yes, we shall. Death to Life was editted many times and I am currently trying to get an agent to help me. Agent #1 said "the query was not quite intriguing enough to inspire me to offer representation or further consideration to your project." Well, fine. FINE. I emailed another agent and if I hear nothing from them (they don't reply at all if they don't want more) then I'll send to another in two weeks.
While that madness goes on and messes with my mind, I continue to work on my latest novel, The Piper's Debt. I am now 66,000 words into it! For those of you who don't do word counts, this means I'm over halfway done. I plan to have the first draft done sometime in August and the first revision finished before NaNo time in November.
Would you like a sneak peek? Of course you would! Click this sentence to read the first chapter. If you have any comments I would be more than happy to see them, but I don't need any grammar checks at this point. Character and plot advice I'd love, but grammar doesn't come into play for at least two more drafts. Fun times. Fun times indeed.

OOO you have a nice background picked out, how is the job going I WANT TO KNOW!
The job is going pretty well. I'm actually chilling there now, answering phones and such. And eating candy. Chocolate is my friend.
haha you sound like my wife now with the chocolate thing.
Your wife is a wise woman.
Chocolate also helps with the dementors.
Omg Vivian is a buggery thing. I like chapter one! It's lovely so far. Cutesy little mice. <3
Hooray for writing blogs! Glad you're posting again. :D
Incidentally, I love the setting for Piper's Debt - is there going to be more on how Musris ended up with Vivian in the first place?
Yep, there sure will be! I'm actually about to begin the chapter where Musris and Vivian talk about some of that.
