The Happy Booker does ReadersRoom....

I've found a new blog to love. Seriously, I am a blog whore, and I don't need the distraction. I really don't. Right now, I am trying to cut a 13-page synopsis down to one page, and baby, it ain't easy. This synopsis is for a book in a "new" direction for me. Ever since I started blogging, I've discovered an edgy humorous voice, and it apparently belongs to a character named Jenny T. Partridge. She's a rather unsuccessful dance teacher who is struggling to eke out a living in the middle of Ogden, Utah. Any of you who have ever been forced to call all your relatives and hassle them with your children's fundraisers will have great appreciation for this book. Jenny finds herself in the middle of a murder mystery BECAUSE of one of these fundraisers. Dance Moms are notoriously neurotic and sometimes nasty. Just take a look at what one of them sent ME.

It's a fun book to write, and even the synopsis hasn't been hell (I know, I know, that's impossible!), but I hate cutting a long synopsis down. My agent has requested this, however, and so I am trying. And practicing avoidance. A LOT of avoidance.

And then along comes the Happy Booker, aka Wendi.

I'm avoiding all over the place.

For example, I took this QUIZ to see what kind of a book I am. Apparently, I am The Hobbit.


Thanks, Wendi! I am NEVER going to get this synopsis done....
