kaitou | Their Love was on the Line (Reply)

This year for my birthday I'm treating myself to a writing conference. A friend of mine from the Dayton group was going and said, 'come along, it will be fun and educational!' I thought to myself, 'well, I'm not working on a romance novel, though I have a few ideas kicking around in the back of my head, but it would still be a lot of fun to hang out with other writers, particularly my friend, and the workshops all look incredibly valuable no matter what genre you're writing. OK, sign me up!"

So I agreed to go, signed up, and found out that I'll actually even get to pitch to an agent.

This sent me off into another tizzy, because I'm not working on a romance. But that is not the point of this post. The point is that my friend and I were talking, and she mentioned that she's going to wear a suit to her pitch. Her day job is a lawyer, and her writing has law elements, so she's using it as another card to play in her pitch.

I joked back that I was thinking of wearing my steel-toed boots and safety glasses and pitching a novel called 'Production Line Passion.' And now I can only think of the jokes. I mean, at my old job the company motto was 'sharing the pleasure of production with our customers.'

Just think of all the possibilities!
