Seriously Sarah

First meeting shall be at Geek Terminal, 2pm on the 17th. You can come earlier if you want… We’ll be editing/blablaing about our WIP novels that we wrote during Nanowrimo 08 to scrub it up into publishable form.

Oh man, is my topic title long but the info on submitting work your work and getting a literary agent AND the young writers’ seminar is under the “more” cut! Got the info from Rozen who got it from NAC, I think.

COPY PASTING GALOOOOORE!

Italics in this font are just MY comments by the way, hur hur.

I hope! In any case, things have been slow around here since I’m doing my school work on a fake book cover I need to do. And yes, the story is as ridiculous as it sounds because it is full of references (try to catch them if you can!) and is NOT serious. Still doing the artwork obviously. MEANWHILE, I need to hang out more on the library or something or hope they bring in the new books cause the bookshops been stock some pretty interesting local books…

Sooo, this is the land of the internets. I’m kinda amused cause more and more books are getting trailers. I mean some are by fans and some are official ones done by the author’s or their companies.

I was checking out some and I went “OH MEIN GOTT” at this one. And, why yes, it is a romance book.

In any case, in the future, I DO have plans to have my own book trailer too somehow. Heh.

I’m editing my story… In the meantime, no local books that I wanna read are out yet.

Well, okay maybe not.

I probably need to hit Times bookstore or something because the closest Popular I am at has a sad selection of local books.

With that said, their fiction range isn’t that hot either but meeeeh it’s understandable since Popular = Textbook land.

Neeeeeeed to continue my editing, darn it.

Undercover Tai Tai by Maya O. Calica.

FINALLY after all my events I have time to review it. Yesss… you know in one sentence how to describe it? ABSOLUTELY FUNNY. Okay, that’s two words and not a sentence but whatever… It’s truly chic lit set around here-ish!

Why “here-ish”? Well, it’s obviously a tai-tai story. One can always jet set and sail away to other islands besides Singapore, non?

I can’t believe this… In a, I didn’t know Singapore HAD a fanclub kind of way but anywho!

Next book to be reviewed…

Undercover Tai Tai by Maya O. Calica

AN ACTUAL CHIC LIT BOOK WRITTEN HERE!!! Le gasp indeed. I’ll read it the day after… Since I got a Kylie Minogue concert to attend to, wooh!

I got this book back in 2005 before he started his own “company” book website called Goody Books to sell them. I knew about the book only via the forums at youth.sg and was rather curious about it. The cover for the new editions now are VERY nice indeed since way back then it was less well known and I noticed he self printed and sent out copies to buyers who were interested in it.

Next book review up is “I Believe You” by Low Kay Hwa.

Amusingly I got one of the first few older cover copies since I bought it in 2005 before it got really popular with news articles and stuff for “indie” books in Singapore.

HECK YES!

So, it happened on the 6th October at 6pm. I made my Pa pick me up from work and send me straight to Borders, reaching there around 5.30pm or so and I went good grief at the crowd.
