Optimism and Prettiness

I've got one scene to add to my novel and have to take another polish at the beginning. Then it's query time again. I'm pretty excited about it. Which may be foolish considering it didn't attract much interest last year. But it's bigger and better and I was reading over the ending and excuse me for my hubris but I freaking love this book.

And if I query this weekend I'll be too busy with getting stuff ready in my classroom to obsess over it as much. As. Much.

I got the nine month prints back today. So feast your eyes on the incredible gorgeousness (although, granted, my mil says "she's not really pretty she's just photogenic" because everyone's daughter in law loves to be told her kid isn't beautiful)


So wish me luck on the query. And, you know, the potty training.

With all due respect to your MIL, WTF? SP is objectively beautiful. I don't think it's really debatable. She's lovely and has been from day one. Good luck on the query.

The Pea is gorgeous and photogenic.
Good luck on the query. Hate writing those suckers.

I can't believe she said that. She is her own grand-daughter. She is beautiful and very photogenic.

Your MIL is an asshat. I am an expert on that field.

Still angry. Very angry. I have a recommendation for a comeback the nexty time the twatwaffle slags your precious daughter with "not pretty, just photogenic comment":

"Is that like how you not really a bitch, you're just stupid?"
