I like to watch the auditions on American Idol- it gives me hope that most of the queries agents receive are the equivalent of off-key versions of "Don't you wish you girlfriend was hot like me" or "Bohemian Rhapsody". Thanks!<br /><br />And ps- if anybody is looking for a crit partner/beta reader, I've opened the comments in my blog for people to put their blurb on and try for a love connection;) I hope it's okay to spam you like this, Natalie.

One of the things that delights me to no end about writing is the idea of a reason for my introversion. Like can't socialize - must write. This would take that concept and completely turn it on its head. LOVED the idea non the less though.
