I will now respond to you...Hey, I'm sorta back. I will now respond to your kind comments: <br /><br />@ darev: These days if it's not on a state test, it's not worth teaching in school. No plumber's proficiency, unfortunately.<br /><br />@ MJ: I hope you enjoyed Lord of the Flies. It's one of the greats for a reason.<br /><br />@ Stacy: It was a packed couple of weeks. Didn't get much done, though.<br /><br />@ Bryan: There's a part in the story where Piggy has to build an underground sewage system at the behest of the big kids. It gets really messy, if I remember correctly.<br /><br />@ Theresa: Thanks. I'm looking forward to getting back into the swing.<br /><br />@ Charlie: Something went weird with my lawnmower and now it doesn't run very fast. I tried looking it up on the interwebs, but didn't really get anywhere. Where's all this info that's supposed to be at your fingertips?<br /><br />@ Laughingmom: Don't worry, I never forget...who are you again?<br /><br />@ Candice: I always read instructions. I'm anxious about doing things the wrong way, then having to do them again because I screwed up.<br /><br />@ Shelly: :)<br /><br />@ Doug: He actually wakes up around five in the morning, takes a bottle, then sleeps in a little. He's pretty considerate that way.<br /><br />@ Michael: Yes, Lord of the Flies is a good example of that.<br /><br />@ Chanel: I've always got this in the back of my mind: don't displease the Overlord(ess) or things will go Ghostbusters bad.<br /><br />@ Julie: You're right. The agents were especially kind, despite the anxiety I naturally felt.Brent Wescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313269993916969201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772006307472464943.post-38559613150591266512011-07-29T13:01:18.853-06:002011-07-29T13:01:18.853-06:00Good luck with your pitch and I hope you are havin...Good luck with your pitch and I hope you are having a wonderful time!! I love conferences and pitching to agents. I think it's much harder for them to say no to your face than in an email where they can maintain anonymity.

Painting, plumbing, electrical. Repairing or replacing drywall, how to lay carpet and tile and linoleum. Simple things like that. Give them some real world skills that will save them from losing their deposit on their first apartment.<br /><br />Good luck on the book deal. Just be yourself. I'm sure you will impress them.<br /><br />"I knew Brent when he was just a blogger...."JustRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389126268262607714noreply@blogger.com
