The Perils of Adding in scenes!

By george....I started writing this chapter I want to add in, fleshing out this scene because I decided that every good book needs a gypsy fortune teller that's older than Bob Barker. Now, it was essentially supposed to be small, but as I'm writing it, I decided that I needed to flesh out these two rqandom characters I threw in during the initial writing phase. And never spoke about them again...they were throw away characters. But now I got the bright idea to flesh them out too. This is going to be a long add in chapter. Which may change, well it will change how certain things flow throughout the rest of the book.

Anyway. Kat Richardson! new book this month. Shall we all do the happy dance?! I am. I am excited. I heart her so much. She really is brilliant. Supremely brilliant. Oh! the query letter has been written, and once it passes the five person test...it will be sent out.

What is the five person test you ask? I am going to show five people I haven't told about he story of my book the query. And see if the idea interests them. If five people all say yes the query is ready to send out. If not, I need to rewrite it. So. that is the test I have decided to base my query letter on.

Right. off to bed. Tomorrow morning is dedicated to reading my friend's blogs on gomag.com. Because I've been lazy and haven't and she's been wonderful enough to read mine. I really have wanted to read them but again...lazy. I'm working on that though. wel. night all. Duck norris says have good dreams or he'll roundhouse quack you in the face.

I know I've already heard all about the story, but I want to read your query letter anyway!

Also, score for new Kat Richardson book. I haven't finished Graywalker yet, but I'm still really enjoying it thus far!
