Don't know why it takes so long to get an agent, but even back in the early 70s when I took a writing course that offered a long list of agents to get you started, it stressed that writers would at first receive many rejections, possibly hundreds, before any material might be accepted. I guess things haven't changed that much. But I do have to say I know what it took for BPV to get the interest of a bona fide literary agent, and he certainly "paid his dues".VeeFlowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08181530007440123152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507032778164380887.post-43425393711388743622008-10-24T21:42:00.000-04:002008-10-24T21:42:00.000-04:00Looks like fun ...Are we all invited to the book l...Looks like fun ...<BR/>Are we all invited to the book launch?Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729536226775394377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507032778164380887.post-48344484358033235852008-10-23T23:05:00.000-04:002008-10-23T23:05:00.000-04:00Bunny - I know you're cool; you know you're cool. ...Bunny - I know you're cool; you know you're cool.

Truth is, I'm only kinda a terrible beee-yotch. It's my sense of humor, folks. As for cool....it is all in the eye of the beholder. I can best be categorized as the intellectual elitist that stands on the sidelines of life making cutting, witty remarks; the exact kind of person that the conservative right likes to vilify because we think we're so smart. Well, all I can say is, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. If you like pudding, you'll say it tastes good. If you don't...you'll say it tastes like shit. What is the point I am trying to say? I'm not sure. I lost myself somewhere back there trying to define cool.bunnyjo georghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04985855536930097791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507032778164380887.post-37609976407221391202008-10-23T01:43:00.000-04:002008-10-23T01:43:00.000-04:00The stunt man club.... oh, the memories that bring...The stunt man club.... oh, the memories that brings back.<BR/><BR/>For your initiation here, I command you to go forth and blog - about the stunt man club.Ray Veenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11956279552298172157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8507032778164380887.post-46063595391168333742008-10-23T01:22:00.000-04:002008-10-23T01:22:00.000-04:00Is that like an invite to the 'stunt man club'?

If you had shown up, most likely everybody else would have been intimidated.<BR/><BR/>Pink - Karaoke king? Not quite. I have barely enough singing skill to give myself the confidence to embarrass myself. Does that make sense?<BR/><BR/>Vivi - You amaze me. It was Love Shack, how did you know? Is it because Love Shack is the most overplayed and annoying song in all of karaoke-dom? In my defense, the guy had a pretty poor selection, so we picked Love Shack out of frustration. (The first song we did was "If I had a Million Dollars" - which has very significant meaning in my life right now)<BR/><BR/>Shorty - I barely noticed 'the girl', but Cindy and some of the other girls kept saying how they felt sorry for her cuz she didn't have any friends or anybody to dance with.
