Oops, I Did It Again.
Man, what a dumb word: Oops!
“Oops, I accidentally dropped a 40 megaton bomb on the state of New Mexico.”
“Oops, I guess that pistol WAS loaded.”
“I just fired myself out of a cannon into a cauldron of hot, bubbly magma. Oops.”
Anyway, I just thought I should come right out and tell you that I don’t know when to leave well enough alone. I sent off a query letter for my ‘little-story-that-couldn’t’ THE SHORT BUS JOURNAL out to an agent this afternoon.
I didn’t mean to. It just sort of happened.
Maybe it’s some of my friends kind of prompting me not to give up on it or maybe it’s just because I think it still has some life left in it.
I don’t know.
I guess we’ll see what happens. And hey, you’ll be the first to know, deal?
Solid.
RUMOR ALERT: It’s been said that a mystery box has appeared on the front steps of a certain house in Woodbury, MN (my house!). In it, there could be a bunch of long-overdue author copies of some sort or the other. Stay tuned for all the details…
…and a contest.
*backflips and spins twice in the air before landing in a dumpster full of Orange Tic-Tacs*
So, there’s a box on your front porch, too? I left a bag…full of dog poop…and I lit it on fire.
Contest? Contest!
Again, I say
Contest??
Hooray!
You forgot what is perhaps the worst use of the word “Oops!”
That would be “Oops, I did it again” by the illustrious Ms. Spears.
I echo Susan!
Contest? Contest!
And that is not an oops! That’s a YAY! I’ll keep my fingers crossed!!
Good luck with your submission, Thomas. And much joy on finally receiving your author copies of Patrick’s Super Socks, you must be beyond stoked.
So what are you contesting? Possibly the completion of Oh Zombie?
Dr. Doofus – Yeah, and the guys from my fire station had to put it out. Pretty embarassing. Thanks BD. Thanks a lot.
SS – Yepper. Stand by for details, yo.
Dan – Oh, I didn’t forget. I sort of named the post in her honor. I’ll never do that again!
Courts – Contest? Aw yeah… contest, y’all. Keep them figners crossed, that lil’ story is batting O so far. Oh well, at least some of my peeps liked it!
CG – Thanks! Yeah, it was pretty crazy. My first reaction was: “What the heck am I gonna do with 10 copies of this bad-boy?” Then I was like: “This is a box of my books.” Pretty cool.
Stan – Well, you’ll have to see, good sir. As for the much delayed filming of the zombie/sitcom/musical ‘Oh, Zombie!’ I’m trying to put something together for later this year. We’ll see…
I love boxes from the UPS man.
Opps, send out 2 more queries for the Short Bus today…things work better in 3’s.
That will teach me to READ THE TITLE OF THE POST before I comment. Geez, that’s how my week has been going.
