It's been one of those days

One of my favorite people in the world sent me a picture from the Edgars. After I insisted he burn it, I took the copy he'd sent me, cropped myself out and told my dear slithery competitor Barbara Poelle I was going to post it on my blog.

Not too many minutes went by before this arrived:

Can you wait to post a picture of me where I don’t look like I am on a black tar heroin binge? How about instead, you post this photo of me having one of the easy days in publishing…


So, here it is.
Caption to be determined but I'm leaning toward:

"Next time we order take out sushi, I get to drive the helicopter"

    Great picture. Some days, you're the bug. Some days, you're the windshield.

    Well... that forces a reinterpretation of the whole "Query Shark" thing.

    Back in my query days, Ms. Poelle answered a partial request with --hands down-- the funniest rejection comments EVAH! She's terrific.

    I bet she's a heckuva great keynote speaker, too.

Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.

If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.


Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.

If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
