IF this was a query

Of course I would have signed him on the spot.

  1. Wow, is that how you get it done? I've been doing it all wrong. I've been typing, editing, and rewriting and all this time I only needed a bottle.

  4. What a coincidence, I've just been on the publisher's site! Has to be a sign from above for me to go and order his books :-)

    He's obviously doing something right :-)

    THANKS A LOT!!

  5. Hm... *trying to figure out a way to add a video into an email without attaching it and thus have the query rejected*

  6. Well damn, I've been doing it wrong all this time. I've ACTUALLY been writing.

    Maybe I need to adopt his writing schedule....

    Hmmm..

  7. Jeff's face at :38 made me laugh so hard.

  8. Looks like me after a three week deadline for a novel, writing four thousand words a day.

  9. I was giggling my way throughout the video. Yup, it just about sums a writer's day.

  10. BAH!

    I'm staring blankly at my computer monitor and downing Cutty Sark at 8:00 AM!

    Where's the work ethic these days!

  11. hahah, my favorite part is the cat :)

  12. Cracked me up! Brilliant! I can be a bit the same sometimes - minus the Cutty!

  13. Since the cat isn't drinking, I can only assume she is the one penning the brilliant prose while Jeff Somers takes all the credit.

  14. That is an insulting stereotype; some of us don't have a cat.

  15. My favorite part is the cat. Also, this proves my mom's point about needing some sort of day job to keep your head from being perpetually in the clouds.

  16. I'm thinking of trying Jeff's method.

  17. Lol no you wouldn't. But it's still an awesome video

  18. switch the Jack for Godiva chocolate and this portrayal becomes veerrrrry familiar.

  19. Now I get it~! I need to drink, stay up late, sleep all day, and drool. No wonder I'm getting nothing done.

  20. I think I'm missing something here. Yeah, it was funny. But he didn't write a word all day, right? So why would you sign him on the spot?

  21. Kitty, it was a joke. Like the video. I should have put in this: ;

  22. HA HA HA !!! O-wa t-goo si-am.

    My husband will die laughing when he hears about this. He once said if he were ever to a book about me he'd name it 'Gullible's Travels.'

  23. So if I swap out my wine for whiskey, I'll write like Jeff Somers? Excellent!

    Oh, wait. My editor might have a problem with this, as she's expecting quirky romantic comedy.

    Will stick with Chianti for now.

  24. Yeah.. except we need the close-up shot, where the dude is on twitter from 12:05-2:00.. WHILE he's drinking. Then before he drifts off to blissful slumber.. he writes..on FACEBOOK.

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.
