Is it soup yet?

Writing: Don't ask.

Reading: Finished Simon Green's AGENTS OF LIGHT AND DARKNESS, the second book in his Nightside series. Another good read, and YAY for 60K length books which give me a feeling of accomplishment.

Day job: It's forecast time. Are we having fun yet?

Cool link of the day: Who can be sad when you have REM and the Muppets singing Furry happy monsters? Thanks to lnhammer for pointing this out.

PSA

Following the meme that's being passed around, a few public service links for anyone considering submitting their work to an agent.

First, repeat after me. "Money flows from the agent to the author." If an agent suggests that you need to pay them up front, walk away. Trust me, you're better off without them.

Now for the links.

A Who's Who list dredged from the bottom of the barrel Writer Beware's list of the twenty worst agents.

Preditors & Editors listing of agents (pay particular attention to the "Not Recommended" flags).

Association of Authors' Representatives. AAR members must subscribe to a canon of ethics and have a track record of sales. A good place to start your agent search.
