Well here I stand, knee length bathing suit, goggles and holding a rubber ring inflatable. The water looks a little cold and a bit choppy, but my big pinky is going in…

I’ve uploaded the back cover text of “Standing at the end of the world”. I hope to approach agents soon, so any comments would be most helpful. As many of you have pointed out, the first impression counts, so I’d like to get this as right as I can.

Ooh, Grinder, and we hardly know you!
er.....welcome to WW!

not that pink pinky TC!
But that you thought that makes me my kind of gal...oh right, you didn't think that

la la la la la

James...you're a gal??

JA, thought you were behind the sofa?





<Added>

have yopu got the shortbread fingers behind there with you? I'll be right there..

The closet cravings for man-on-man action clearly demonstrated in this discussion are something I shall personally steer well clear of.

I can be a gal...I'm up for anything though

Tinyclanger,
Oh I’m not that difficult to figure out really, I a bloke after all.
I’m sure I’ll get more chatty when my e-bashfulness wares off…

IB do expand, cos last time I looked I was definately Not. Though I do appreciate here on the parallel universe of WW none of us seems really sure. I mean Wordy was a man for a very brief period, and then there's (Not)Ralph..I don't think we ever finally got round to sorting that one out....(hasn't s/he still got my spade, too?)

Grinder. Hmm, bit severe that, could we call you Grindy or something a bit cuddlier?
And you can't be bashful, you're a Tyke. Greetings fellow devotee of the White Rose.

Sorry, just my filthy sense of humour taking things into the gutter as usual.

Oh, don't apologise IB, we likes the gutter...

well, as some Irish bloke said, we are all in the gutter, but some of us are reaching for the stars (and I'm pretty ...well, yes I am pretty, but I'm pretty sure that he didn't mean Spears et al)

He also said on his death bed 'Either that wallpaper goes or I do'

By the way tc, i've just got back from S'bury's with shortbread...;o)

Hey Gnasher! er... sorry... Grinder. I see you've had a baptism by tc. Be careful about mentioning the colour pink when she's around... she eats pink things.

I read your blurb. (hope you realise that is a highly technical term for the bit that goes on the back of a paperback or inside the dust-cover of a hardback - it's not meant to be derogatory!) It's very good but it's not a synopsis. Have a dig around in the archives and you'll find lots of discussion on synopses... or else you could start a new thread.

Welcome to WW

ee.

Dontcha just hate people that can be clever and witty on their deathbed?
I bet all I get to say on mine is "Ow" or "I don't feel very well"..



<Added>

Dee, don't frighten Grindy, he's only just got here. And I don't eat pink things..and the pink coment is totally untrue, I eat any colour.

JA, get that cellophane off before I rip it off with my teeth...

Dee,

She eats pink things?

Do I dare refer to a previous post in this thread?

<Added>

Mine will almost certainly be - I don't need a doctor, I'll be fine.
