Living with [livejournal.com profile] chaostheory  has opened my eyes to a whole new world of online insanity.

Okay, so the query letter for Death for the Born continues to kick my ass. What is my story's hook? Does it even have one? Why didn't I write a generic paranormal romance instead of this crazy mess of dead people and private eyes and Bloody Marys?

I also got to a chapter last night that needs a big rewrite and I'm not sure how to do it yet. Will no doubt spend the day at work battering my head against the desk in my desperate fury to get the hell out of there, come home, and start ripping my book to pieces.

On the plus side, the lovely [livejournal.com profile] goth_huntress  has provided some query first aid, so all is not lost.

CANDY MOUNTAIN CHAAARLLIIIIEEE!!!

I named my fake band's first manager Charlie after that video, and their current manager has many unicorn t-shirts in tribute. SHUN THE NONBELIEVER. SHUNNNNNN.

I'm starting to think AV is turning into an exercise of "see how many pop/internet references I can cram into a semi-coherent story."

Stealing unicorn kidneys is my new benchmark for terrible things a person can do.

But then you can counter it with a gay destiny so special that it BRINGS DEAD UNICORNS BACK TO LIFE!
