I'm having so much fun! I love it! This has been an eye-opening past few weeks and I wouldn't have missed it for anything! Fascinating!

Which part?

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:21 pm

All of it! Especially the way that sworn enemies have become best friends so that they can use one another. It's such great material for a book!

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:22 pm

Write it. Dedicate it to Dick. I will buy it.

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:24 pm

As usual, I'm clueless. But if you get a book out of it, it's all good. Smile

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:28 pm

Yes, I will. Something smart and funny: The Final Delete. The main protagonist will be a female writer who sees her work being deleted before her very eyes and is in denial and will not accept that the work is gone for ever. Oh, but it is! Just to be really annoying ... - Page 2 Icon_biggrin

Be sure you put in what mean folks Ann and I are.

How we are hateful is unclear to me. Oh well. Can't please even the people we know all of the time.

I don't do hate. My books are "genuinely funny in parts" -- I have that in writing from a London publisher. I was so green when I started out trying to find a publisher, I phoned him at home to ask about why he'd turned down my submission. He was really nice and offered me some good advice!

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:36 pm

The Final Delete, lol. Sounds like a murder mystery. Smile

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:44 pm

Exactly.

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:45 pm

Slow murder.

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:47 pm

Who's the victim?

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:49 pm

The protagonist, of course! She is slowly being deleted!

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 12:58 pm

Is there a group of supporting characters, whining that they can't get deleted from their publisher?

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:04 pm

Who will publish this book? I want to edit it.

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:25 pm

Mandinam Press will.

Great idea, LC! "You've deleted her, now you can delete me!"

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:27 pm

Once they're deleted, do they stay in purgatory since no one else will add them?

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:28 pm

She had best not do that. Deleting Shelagh is not an option.

Subject: Re: Just to be really annoying ... Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:43 pm

Now I'm confused. I thought she asked to be deleted.

Okay, here's how it goes.

"You are stealing my writing from the forum and I want it deleted."

Wait a minute, that doesn't make sense!!

Carol,

That is too funny and true.
