I woke up this morning with a query letter working through my mind. A dream I had (horrible as it was, really I was so scared) was turning into an idea for a novel. When I woke up I was already summing it up in an exciting one-paragraph hook.
A bright boy with incredible potentional is selected to attend a top-notch academy prep program. He’s proud parents sign the waiver and wave good-bye as their son,
Alright, I know it’s a bit weak, but I just finished The Hunger Games and I’m completely spooked by the whole idea of children fighting to the death.
Plus, all weekend my kids watched Aliens in the Attic, hense the monster-like aliens.
Combine them plots and it’s a pitiful idea for a novel. Even still, I was scared to death and went to check on Chandler. Thank heavens he didn't have a bruise on him.
My super publicist and great friend, Doug Johnston of Little Red Ride Promotions has started a trade-up. What's a trade-up? Click here to read about Kyle McDonald who started with a red paper clip and eventually traded up to a house. So Doug has started with a paper clip and My Dear Trash contributed the first trade-up, a Charlie McCarthy silver-plated antique spoon.
Doug is an editor is the Morgan County News and will be featuring his trade-up here. I can't wait to see what happens next.
