Have I mentioned lately

...that I Really Hate to Write Proposals? Honest to ghod, I would rather write a whole book on spec; it's less trouble and more fun. And I feel like monster, kinda sorta maybe promising the characters that maybe they might get to actually live in this book someday and could they, y'know, work for me just a little, on condition (and not enough to actually wake up, because if they wake up we're in Very Big Trouble), and if somebody buys the proposal, I'll get back to them.

So, anyway.

The proposal's done, or as done as I can make it, given my general squeamishness regarding the process.

And tomorrow I'll reward myself by working on The Nameless Novella.

I don't mind writing proposals IF I've finished the book. If I have to give them something very synopsis-like, it makes me less interested in the project because I know too much about it to care about writing it. I guess that suggests that at least some of the fun in writing is learning what happens. However, as long as I can get past getting started, the writing seems to take off anyway, and of course rarely resembles the proposal.
