desperanceOkay. What I say is, 12.5K is plenty enough words to give someone(s) an idea, whether or not they think a novel is going to work.
When those someones are my agents, what I say further is, they don't need a synopsis. They can take my novel-building on trust.
So. Here I sit, with not very far at all to [Chica]go - probably more than 106 words, alas, but hey. I'm going to make a ritual of it anyway.
I've got half a bottle of wine, a full bowl of fresh crevettes (fried in olive oil with chilli, garlic & salt, and so fresh I'm going to eat them heads'n'shells'n'all - which I didn't know was actually possible till I went to Taiwan, for we English are a conservative race), it's dark and I'm wearing - well, my regular glasses, actually.
Nevertheless.
*hits it*
