Query to Ayanna Behin LiteraryToday I sent a query letter to Ms. Ayanna Behin. I did a bit of research and found out that Ms. Behin went to the University of Michigan, so I added the fact that my master's in library and information services is from Michigan in hopes I might get some fellow alumni points. Unlikely, but worth a shot.

THE BEST OF 2011PERSONAL NEWSSo, in the picture above, you see my calm, serene smile while my friend Emi looks terrified at something facing us. After this photo, Emi mysteriously disappeared and her rich uncle searched for her for 40 years, convinced that her killer was sending him a dried flower each year...Oops, wrong story, but the expression on Emi's face really does make me think of

A Agenting We Go...Today I submitted my novel to the Richard Henshaw group. Extremely tempting to just write Dear Mr. Henshaw in the query letter. But I decided the other agent working for him seemed like a better bet, so I sent it to a Ms. Taylor instead.Since my last post, I went to a fun Star Trek party where my amazing friend Sara made me these lovely ears! Then lots of other stuff

Where's Cherie?In the past couple of weeks, I've been to two Halloween parties, helped some friends move into a new apartment, and shelved a whole lot of books! I saw this weird, sad, but somehow awesome pumpkin graveyard while helping my friends move. When we first passed by, only the giant broken pumpkin was on the curb. But as we were leaving, all the rest of the pumpkin brethren had come to

Query LetterI've sent out another query, this time to Jeff Ourvan at Jennifer Lyons Literary. I've still yet to hear back to my last query to Jita Fumich at Folio Literary management. This post is partly a note to myself and partly for anyone interested. I find people commonly ask me how the agent search is going. So here's the answer for now.

In Defense of My GenerationGeneration Y, the Millennials, the Echo-Boomers. Whatever you want to call us, it seems we get no respect. Sometimes, I think that part of growing older seems to necessitate a certain amount of disdain for the younger generation. So perhaps every generation goes through a time when they are looked down upon. But I only know that it makes my blood boil to see the

Thoughts From My Road Trip and my Personal LifeSo my boyfriend graciously just drove me down to southern California and back for an interview. I don't have any pictures of the trip since things generally flew by too fast for me to take them. But here's what I remember.I saw a car pulling a helicopter. At first I thought it was just the blade as the helicopter was partially covered, but then I

RestlessThere's plenty to do but I'm too tired to do much of interest. Oh, well, at least I found some job postings, and while looking for full time work, I was grateful I at least have part time work that I like well enough. I mean, certainly better than the myriad alternatives.

Editing DONE!For my Fantasy novel anyway. And as done as these things ever are, which is never until someone pries it out of my cold dead hands. Next up, my children's novel. Finally it's 196,634 words. And that's probably as short as it'll get.

Captain QueryToday I did a story time at the library, went on a bike ride with my sister, saw Captain America, and sent a query to Kristen Wolf's Literary Agency. If only there were a Captain Query to champion my story and burst through the walls of agencies about to reject me and make them see the light.Literally, the light. It'd be coming through the hole in the wall.Sigh...if only publishing

I'm afraid I didn't take many pictures, so I shall paint you a word picture.

A.S.PI saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 last night for the second time ans realized that Albus Severus's intials are A.S.P, which makes his otherwise lame name a whole lot better. He should just have people call him Asp!He also had a pet ferret which raised him even more in my eyes. Ferrets are awesome!

Olympia WashingtonWhile in Washington my sister and I made a pitstop in Olympia. I thought it was interesting that on one side of the street was this beautiful building......and on the other side was this pit of despair known as the Greyhound Station. You might say it doesn't look so bad. But that's because you can't smell it.

Under 200,000!I finally got my novel under 200,000 words. It's now 199,213 words! It's still oversize, and it's not much shorter than 200,000 but it is shorter, and that's something. Hurrah!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Film ReviewTrailer:Overview:I really enjoyed this film. It was plenty exciting, didn't cram in too much like the last few films, and I felt had most of the important parts and very few of the annoying parts of the book. Plus, Neville rocked! I couldn't ask for much more than that in the film There were a few inconsistencies that rankled me a little but

Info From a PirateWhile in Seattle our duckboat driver, dressed appropriately like a pirate, told us that while Seattle has the most rainy days per year, it does not have the most rainfall. The reason for this is because it does not rain as much when it does rain.

Dear Virus,What was it about my throat that was so homey to you. Why did you pick right before my vacation to infect me. Couldn't we work something out next time? How about you infect me when there's something unpleasant I want to get out of. I promise I'd fight you less then. As it is, I shall have to douse you with salt water and tea.

What if All Your Books Belonged to Microsoft?Or Apple. Some people might think the latter wouldn't be so bad, but my concern with e-readers is that the market will become dominated by two major companies. What if half the books you wanted to read were only published in a format that didn't work on your e-reader? Of course, they probably wouldn't do that now, but the more power the e-reader

Thank Heavens for Little Girls...of All GendersWow. I'm forgetful.Anyway, while watching the episode of QI I've linked above, I found out that all little children were called girls. Boys were "knave girls" and girls were "gay girls." I verified this information on the website of The University of Glasgow where it said this took place from the late 13th century to the 16th century.

Reasons I Have Money For SushiGood thing my sis isn't paying as much attention to this blog as she used to. I seem to forget to post a lot. Anyway, I've been enjoying my local sushi restaurant but when I mentioned being unemployed the owner was curious how I could afford sushi. This has been mentioned before at another sushi restaurant. I'm not really offended by the question but don't feel

Governor's MansionsToday I went to two governor's mansions today, yet the actual governor of our state lives in a one bedroom apartment over a PF Changs.Above is a picture of the first mansion we visited where most the governors lived until they decided not to house the governor there anymore. I think Reagan was the last governor to live there.Then we went to the mansion of Leland Standford,

Infobit -- The Name FullerI've been listening to yet another middle ages documentary where I've learned if your last name is Fuller, your ancestors probably had something to do with the wool trade and very likely got the delight of tromping on wool in stale urine.

SushiI am quickly writing this post as I got to talking to the owner of a local sushi restaurant, his friend, and a couple of his customers until quite late. I was also plied with saki, which I refused and got the sense I was to him what vegetarians are to French chefs--bizarre creatures who need to join the real world. I didn't mind really as I still found the company good. I have to wonder

The Red Queen: Book ReviewSummary:Margaret Beaufort has grown up with the certainty that she has been chosen to do God's will. Since she is denied her true desire to join a convent, Margaret decides that God must want her to put her son Henry on the throne. Although, always denying vanity and insisting she does only God's work, Margaret is vain, jealous, and self-serving--always longing for the

Richard III was not QuasimodoToday I'll just share some interesting info I've actually known for a while, Richard III, legendary villain of Shakespeare, did not actually have a hunchback. The portrait that has a hunchback has been found to have been painted over and there are no contemporary descriptions of him having one. Plus, as Henry VII was an usurper, it makes sense that he'd want Richard

Use the Force, Jane...About five months ago I started my own Jane Austen Book Club. Like in my favorite movie (I know it's also a book, but I prefer the film) I compare Jane Austen books to Star Wars. In The Jane Austen Book Club film, a character only does this for Mansfield Park. And if anyone wants to know what he said, they should watch the film. However, I've done this for all the novels

I also enjoyed the actor who played Magneto, and I was impressed with his French, but I was NOT impressed with his complete lack of a British

KayakingI went kayaking today. I wish I had some pictures, but I'll just have to paint one with words. The water was calm and the day was partly cloudy so I was sandwiched between the mirror-like water and the blue sky above with the puffy white clouds that are very rare to California this time of year. When I paddled out far enough away from all the other kayakers I felt this very comforting

The Conspirator: Film ReviewTrailer:Overview:I found it interesting that the movie was about due process of the law and not necessarily innocence or guilt. Obviously, they lean toward one assumption but the point is that the method of the trial is wrong. I wanted to find out more about the lawyer Frederick Aiken, afterwards, but I think it would take a bit more in depth historical research than

Okay, I admit I kinda care about the At&t thing because that's the provider my family uses. I wish I could care more about the Bin Laden thing, but I'm too practical to think it fixes much of anything or that

Info ThursdaySaga of King Hrolf kraki The old Norse saga above includes a Loathly Lady story that sounds a little more similar to the one I read because the lady asks to sleep in his bed and he reluctantly agrees and then she turns into a beautiful elf.

Diary TuesdayThe Loathly LadyWhen I was a child I heard some old folktale about a man marrying a truly hideous woman who became beautiful once they were married. But I will never forget the ending because it was so strange. Rather than her beauty being a simple happily ever after, it said he never forgot her ugly form. It was so bizarre that I've always wished I could find the story again, but

Review FridayThe King's SpeechTrailerOverviewGreat as both a historical and character drama. I think it was brilliantly acted, particularly by Colin Firth, Helena Bonham Carter, and Geoffrey Rush. Not only did I believe they were these characters but I cared about what happened to them. Firth excels at being simultaneously unfriendly but lovable. Carter is regal and somehow even gives the air
