Yesterday I received my first request for a full MS from an agent. It may not work out (I hope it does!), but it is still a milestone for me.

when I read, unless the author goes out of their way to describe a character, I don’t pay that much attention to race. I’m sure I mentally assume they’re white, but if I find out later, they’re not, I am not bothered by it.

*sigh* Humans.

Sure, and The Elvenbane (I typo’ed this as Elvenbabe, and that fits too) series had a few POV shifts, but mostly women.

I’ve never resented a protag *because of their gender*, other reasons, sure. 😜

My guess is it is a timeline thing. I feel sure the numbers should be higher. If I was home I’d check my library & do a quick tally.

7.33 women? How does that work out?

There’s Indian Steps in the area too.

I was privileged to have corresponded with her and even met her once before she died. 😁😢

i grew up reading Andre Norton as my default author, and I would estimate half her protags were women. They were all competent in their own field, so I have no problem with female POV.

Charlie is the protag, but the amazing Til might help to bring in the women.

Happy Moon Landing Day!

May the Fourth be with us all.

I LOVE bagpipes!

Congratulations!

Don’t know what it means, but it was interesting so I leave it here.

It looks like they’re filming a new #KingKong movie in #Hostigos. I wonder if they need extras on the set?

Oh, I HAVE to read this!

Someone should do Romeo & Juliet with Romulans & Klingons. Now THAT would be a family feud.

i’m sorry, Han *did* shoot first. What was I thinking?

what is a managing editor, and what does one do?

it’s not the fall, it’s the sudden stop at the end; with claws.

Ahh, darn! I am so sorry for your loss. Sending strength and prayers your way.

It’s good for me, because it’s organic!

<confused>But Greedo *did* shoot first. Why is that a troll?
