Celebrating at V&A Tomorrow!

Post by Syndrome » Thu Nov 20, 2008 5:21 pm

Tomorrow, for the first time ever, Mr. Syndrome and I are going to Victoria and Alberts. I am blanching at the price but he convinced me we had to go to celebrate...because I got my very first book contract. Woo hoo! I dunno if the book will even make enough to cover the meal, but hey, it's a start. It's "So You Want To Be A Counselor," coming out in June, 2009. That means the manuscript has to be done by Dec. 31st of this year so I am spending a lot of time chained to the laptop.

Hee hee hee {wicked thoughts go through Syndrome's mind}

Nah, I have to follow their format since they do other career guides. Here's a sneak preview, as I'm creating a companion blog so readers can get updates and ask me questions directly once it's out:

Can I be in the chapter that discusses goof ball sailors who specialize in shaggy dog stories?

you should include me and a whole chapter on SID and other quirks that people have. I got a long list I know of and as for V&A why wait. If I was a wine and food lover I would stay at the motel 6 and splurge on a meal there, sigh, I am so different I guess.

What a cool book. I've got a cousin that's an elementary school counselor in an urban school in Columbia, SC. I'll be sure to direct her to your site.

Jack and I will submit ourselves as guinea pigs. You gotta have a bonafide freaks chapter!

I'm sure we will make great specimens, I mean study materials.

Congrats!!!
