This had me giggling wildly!
Call your beta reader? That’s wat three-four emails an evening are for…. And any hints on demon summoning (other than, say, > sendmail & ?)
very very silly. Thank you!
Solid advice
I look forward to hearing how that works out for you.
Hi Cassy B! Great to see you!
Please send me your mailing details and I’ll get a gift box out to you.

@mark Right?? That’s why the gods invented email! So that writers can pester their beta readers. It’s how the universe runs!

Thank you, @Elektra!

Writer X only gives the best advice. What it’s the best of, I’m still not clear, lol. Thanks so much for reading. If you send your mailing info to melanie at msmarketing dot org, I’ll get a gift box right out!
@Yehoshua Paul, thanks for reading!
Please send your mailing address to melanie at msmarketing dot org, I’ll get a gift box out to you toute suite.
Thanks, but I’m trying to declutter and don’t really need a gift box. But I do want you to know that I appreciate these, erm, misdirected emails!
Finally! The answer to my prayers! Super Stardom, here I come!
@Cassy B., thank you! I, too, am working on decluttering. Mostly unsuccessfully.
@Michaele Jordan, you’ll be an overnight success! ;-D I’d love to send you a care package. Please send your details along to melanie at msmarketing dot org and I’ll get it right out. Thanks for reading!
The hang gliding didn’t work as well as I had hoped. It turns out that those windows don’t open from the outside, and it’s more difficult than you’d expect to break a window wearing a harness.
On the bright side, the cast fits under the bed.
If those pesky publishers can’t recognize true talent when it comes crashing through their windows, just remember the old maxim that says “There are very few personal problems that cannot be solved with a suitable application of high explosives.”
