I am sorry.
In advance.
Also, I blame you, my readers who agreed that Wippet from my Snippet sounded dirty and put ideas in my head in the comments section about webcams.
You know what happens when I get ideas.
I can't resist. Ok, here we go...

Frankie Diane Mallis: Hi...I'm working on my novel Rose Lily. Watch me type! Now I'm on twitter. I twitter about important things in life. Like my favorite quotes from Mean Girls. Ok back to my novel. Oooh look a sentence I don't like. I frown. Oooh look. A sentence I DO like. I smile. Watch my fingers on the key pad. Type, type, type. Now I am getting an idea for a plot point in book 4. Watch me write it on a notecard and stick it to my bulletin board for future reference. Now watch me type a brand new sentence. Very nice. Ok time for twitter!
But there's more! For just $49.95 a month you can have upgraded access to Frankie Diane Mallis' revision archive videos. Live the drama, experience the emotion.

FDM: OMG, draft I hate you! HATE! HATE! HATE! Wait, no I mean I love you. I love you. Just stop being so difficult. What do you mean there's another adverb there? I thought I deleted them. Well don't tell Ninjadillo. Or Il Primo! Damnit plot why won't you fit in where I outlined you. NO! I outlined you first, you should fit. I. Outlined. You! Ok Frankie--stop all of this going with the flow crap, and...ok talking to yourself=bad sign. Oh no! More critiques have come in. I have to revise again! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Come here useless paragraph. I delete you!

FIN!
Ok I'm back....hehehe. So writing progress today....I am still stuck on somethings with chapter 16. So I decided to go back and totally fix up and perfect earlier chapters so they are ready for my gamma readers and also because I signed up for the NJ SCBWI mentoring program in January where you get to send in 30 pages of your WIP to be critiqued by an agent/editor and it's awesome. I went once before and it's a great conference and where I got my second invitation from a certain publishing house to submit my WIP when it's done.
So at this point I proclaim that I love chapter 1 and I'm totally done with it. I'm in the middle of working on chapter 2 again which had more things to rearrange. Hopefully by the end of this weekend I'll be back at chapter 16 and ready to move forward and have my WIP in the best shape of its life, bc...oh well the last time I checked it was December (EEK) and I said I'm submitting in December. So I'm working to meet my goal!!!
Also, one of my critique partners Kelly started a blog today! Yay Kelly! Go over and visit her and say hi!
Ok ya'll I got to get ready for my class!
Ah! You're so close! Good luck wrapping up submissions. Can't wait till you enter the query wars. We've got high hopes for you, Frankie!
ReplyDeleteLiLa, I love you guys SO much! Seriously, you're making me blush. I'm really excited too. I like how you called it the Query Wars, it makes me feel pumped like I'm going in for battle. Can I use that? Anyway thank you! And I'm eagerly awaiting more good news from you two!
ReplyDeleteHAHA. Classic, Frankie. Classic!
ReplyDeleteMoving on, LiLa said all the other things I was going to say. You are going to dominate the query wars.
Oh, and looking through your Mean Girls quotes today? Made my day. Never change!
"OMG, she's *so* annoying."
"Who?"
"Who's this?"
"Gretchen..."
"Hold on....OMG, she's *so* annoying."
I WOULD TOTALLY BUY A SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS! All Frankie. All the time! Then I'd never get anything done ever again!
ReplyDeleteGlad revising is going well. Just make sure you don't forget your sad, unimportant, still unpublished blog friends when you leave us in the dust!
This was too funny, Frankie! Made me smile first thing this morning! I think I am pushing my deadline back...ugh. But, I think I may be attending the conference too! Yeah! Can't wait to read 16
ReplyDeleteThanks for giving me giggles in the morning!
ReplyDeleteI am with Shannon - don't forget us - we are the keepers of Magnadillo! ;o)
ReplyDeleteI would love this by the way, a subscription to fun every month. I mean who would not love it!!!
I am glad that your revisions have gone well! I know it is amazing!
Oh & by the way - so glad to have found a kindred MeanGirl! lol
Wheeee! That was fun. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with your YA project!
Thank you Sarah, I love this query wars thing. OMG Im so pumped for battle. Oh and so you agree? You think your pretty?
ReplyDeleteShannon, thank you! You may be my first customer. And I love how you refer to my sad, unpublished friends as if I'm not also sad and unpublished:-) Ok Im not sad. But I am not published.
Thank you, Kelly and glad to see you on blogger. Hooray!
Donna, you what I live for the giggles.
Thank you, Courtney! And totally kindred spirit! Who does she think she is? I like, invented her!
Hi Suzette, Thank you and thanks for stopping by! I love your avatar. My aunt had that picture in her living room!
:-)
Loved the fun post, but now I'm wondering what the query wars are that Lisa and Laura mentioned?! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shannon. I think they just meant that Im about to start querying agents in general, so they're calling it entering the query wars, which now I totally am too!
ReplyDeleteHi Frankie :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the hilarious post. Fun & funny because of the truth contained therein. *grin* I can't wait till your writing is available for me to read. You have a great "voice".
Thanks for sharing,
All the best,
RKCharron
