I was totally impressed with your voice (Amanda's voice) in Happy Hour of the Damned. My wonder is, are your ever tempted to dress in drag as Amanda? <br /><br />Have you ever dressed as Amanda, in full make-up, as you write? Might be fun.<br /><br />Would you be willing to do this and post pics?

I pitched the idea for an unwritten manuscript at a writing conference and that editor really hand-held me through the first draft and was ready to make an offer (though we went with another eventually, which is totally messed up, I know, but is sometimes how the business goes). From idea to finished product to sale was less than 6 months.Mark Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157095641807953190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332990871059750176.post-41099467393568382272010-02-21T00:07:06.838+01:002010-02-21T00:07:06.838+01:00love amanda. i read the first onelove amanda. i read the first oneblackroze37 AT yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18149823428113225855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332990871059750176.post-21631867251723372742010-02-20T23:33:04.219+01:002010-02-20T23:33:04.219+01:00I added a Save Amanda Feral picture to my sidebar:...I added a Save Amanda Feral picture to my sidebar: http://fictionkingdom.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Tweet: http://twitter.com/Sparima/status/9401615251<br /><br />spav05(at)gmail(dot)comSpavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01624345166962744896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332990871059750176.post-89103074667787271322010-02-19T18:15:48.849+01:002010-02-19T18:15:48.849+01:00I twittered today about the contest...

The reason Amanda eats who she does is to point out that Seattle is not all salmon throwing fishmongers and umbrella toting tourists. It's pretty shady, tons of people are homeless and on welfare. I wanted people to clue in on the fact that zombies could subsist entirely on these underprivileged populations because the majority of people here, including the agencies servicing them don't give a crap.Mark Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06157095641807953190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5332990871059750176.post-9124755301272027662010-02-16T19:27:54.178+01:002010-02-16T19:27:54.178+01:00Skyla - That I'm a really good cook.

I wanted to be an architect initially and still love to study it, but chose psychotherapy after it really kind of chose me (you either draw people to you and are open to their emotions or you aren't, I've seen tons of therapists that didn't have a natural instinct and I wouldn't want to pay for an hour with them). After those two, I wanted to become a professional chef. So I practice techniques when I'm not writing.
