Well I LOVED Armageddon’s Princess. I would love to read more about Lexus and her crazy household. I really liked the first chapter, so not sure what you’re thinking of changing.

After an AP sequel I guess I’d want to see Baby Dancers.

Mostly I’m just excited about anything you write!

Oh my. Bunny Troublee is all about Libertarian Sex. There’s sex with seventeen year-old girls, sex with ex-girlfriends, sex with new girlfriends, lesbian cop sex and alien sex.

And there is also drug use. Pot, specifically. Happy Weed fresh off the reservation.

Here is Bunny Trouble before my edits:

sex sex drugs sex sex guns, sex sex sex sex guns.

Here is Bunny Trouble after my edits:

Guns sex drugs, guns guns guns sex sex guns guns guns

So, looks like I got you covered!

Although, there is a distinct difference in drugs, and what happens to drug dealers who prey on the innocent. Yeah, those people don’t fair too well. Some even get eaten.

Wow! You make Stephen King look like a slacker…

I’d pick Bunny Trouble – but not until you cut it to 100,000 words. (Too much of a good thing, you know) And could you mix in a little Libertarian Sex and Drug Nut Science Fiction too

Thanks for stopping by Tonya. I never thought to actually use the working title to Space Opera as the actual title. Maybe something like "Hi, We're Humans, We Finally Got Our Act Together, And We Are Here to Kick Your Ass". Okay must stop thinking about Space Opera!

Goblin ninjas on fire!

But you’re writing a space opera titled Space Opera? No fair! That’s like calling dibs on Genre. j/k… but not really j/k – you called it, so now you Must write it. I want Space Opera.

That’s an amazing piece of art… must find out more about this Daniel Conway’s work.

Thanks for stopping by, Tony!

Yeah. Things blowing up in space. I giggle.

I kind of dig the sish alien though. Mainly because she’s snacking on the crew, and they let her. That’s so weird.

1) I liked the Space Opera excerpt, and not just because I like seeing aliens misunderstanding and underestimating humans. It’s because I also like seeing things blow up.

2) I admire the self-imposed disciple you are displaying with respect to the editing process. I can COMPLETELY understand how this would kill. I’ve yet to develop the fortitude to slip into those iron shoes and being that particular dance. You rock.

I care! Just so you know

I want to read about goblin ninjas on fire. Like you say, there is just something awesome about that.

Certainly having so many projects is a wonderful thing, you’re allowed to lament the lack of writing time, but not that you have so many ideas.

Keep at it! And good luck with the querying, it’s good you’ve had some partial requests, am sure you’ll find someone to take Armageddon’s Princess on
