But I love the idea and I'm definitely doing it next year. Plus, I keep trying to convince the fiance to do the Script Frenzy in March--I wanna co-write a slasher!<BR/>Glad to hear you don't still blame me! The good news is that it sounds like you got more mileage out of merging different ideas. I had a similar experience when pitching a project to Penguin to learn that they had just bought something along the same lines. I reworked it, and my novel is coming out with Puffin in Spring 2010. It's kind of a trip to see how much the book has changed from its original concept.Micol Ostowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432601846296713150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27552471.post-6234467930522419382008-11-10T08:34:00.000-08:002008-11-10T08:34:00.000-08:00I broke down and decided to Nano for the first tim...I broke down and decided to Nano for the first time this year.
