Query Shark: A Blog You Need to Bookmark

Check out Query Shark (http://queryshark.blogspot.com/). Janet Reid, an agent with Fine Print Lit in NYC, writes this entertaining and enlightening (dare I say...edutaining?) blog. Reading is like watching crotch shots on "America's Funniest Home Videos." It's hilarious, but it could be you.

At 1:17am on September 22, 2009, Jennie Spallone said…: After finally getting my hubby to sit down and listen to the ending I'd planned -- he's into non-fiction so It's a pain to harness him to his seat for fiction -- he told me the twists were getting way too confusing. As I listened to his description of what was flying past him, I came up with a much simpler ending. Yet the reader will still be left wondering how one phone call ties into the end. I can fix that, of course, but I'm not sure I want to. Am I nuts?

Sounds like you're doing amazing! When you're near the end of your book and your mind blanks for a fierce ending, what tricks do you employ?

At 1:15am on August 25, 2009, Libby Cudmore said…: Thanks for the compliment on "Absolution"--it actually is part of a bigger work, a novel I'm trying to shop around. Thanks for reading!

At 1:08am on August 24, 2009, Libby Cudmore said…: Jurassic Park is my 2nd favorite novel, and this has nothing to do with my huge giant well-documented crush on Jeff Goldblum. And Hunter S, Thompson was a genius. Can I safely assume you are a Warren Zevon fan as well?

At 5:28am on July 31, 2009, Jon Loomis said…: Hey, thanks Benjamin! Yeah, I'm happy. They did a fine job. And I'm moving some books!

At 4:19am on July 23, 2009, Craig Faustus Buck said…: Sorry it took me so long to reply to your question, Benjamin. I don't log in here very often. The horns are a permanent fixture, the unfortunate result of an incident involving a goat upon which I can't elaborate until the judge lifts the gag order. Suffice it to say that it's legal in three states, so what's the big deal?

Thanks for befriending this mystery author!

I am gonna dine out on this for months. Hell of a story, man, really. Just a hell of a story.
