Microsynopsis

So I'm participating in a sweet contest over at YAtopia, where agent John Cusick has challenged writers to provide a three sentence synopsis of their novel for the chance of winning a full or partial request. I don't know how well mine came out. I always feel like I'm making it seem over-simplified when I do short summaries, but I think it does a good job of capturing the main plot.

Yay! Let's all eight of my readers cross our fingers shall we?

Lets all hug and jump up and down

A short story I submitted a while back is going to be published!

The editor had some minor notes and he feels the ending needs to be "more satisfying" but overall he said I have the skills to be an excellent short story writer and he's really interested in working with me.

I like the ending, but I wouldn't take my ball and go home over it. And it will be great for me to have something to put in the writing credits section of my novel query letters. Plus, now I have something to prop up my fragile ego if my test readers tell me the novel sux.

Yay!
