Choices, Choices...My Next Deal

First of all, THANK YOU for all the birthday wishes and messages---you guys really made me smile throughout the day. And I promise I'll be announcing my next contest very soon. I think you'll like it. I've already told one person what I'm thinking of giving away and she pretty much told me I was crazy and should keep it...but I love to share...so...coming soon.

But more importantly...I have sifted through your comments and suggestions about what kind of Deal I ought to make with the Universe for when I am The Agented.

And here are my thoughts:

Everyone who suggested I remake a Lady Gaga video....AAAAAAAAH! Guys, seriously! Seriously? You know I'm crazy, but even I have my limits. So veto! *shudders*

And to all of you who are obsessed with getting me into a pair of red wellies...*sigh* I have decided to use that as inspiration for a possibility.

--Quick recap for anyone who doesn't understand why the red wellies come up so much--

So one night I had a dream, that I was Katniss from The Hunger Games, and I was sort of in a backstage waiting area/locker room, preparing to go out in the field, and battle/kill to survive. I was desperately trying to find Peeta in all the ruckus (funny since I'm Team Gale/Team I Love Both of You) and then I had to get into my costume...which...involved me wearing a blue t-shirt, itty bitty white shorts and....red wellies. *sigh*

And as I was walking through the crowds...EVERYONE and I mean EVERYONE was wearing the red wellies too. I have no clue why. Then I woke up and made the mistake of revealing this dream on twitter. I also made the mistake of revealing the dream here. Again. Oops! ---

So in honor of that...and some of your suggestions...two by Shannon which I think must be some kind of conspiracy....here are the three things I'll consider doing, you can decide the final call by voting in the comments.

1) I'll spend the day dressed as a literary character and film myself walking around to different places and talk to people like I am that character. And if you vote for this option, make sure you vote for a character too and Katniss in red wellies is NOT an option bc she doesn't actually wear red wellies in the book! We're going for authenticity people! The more iconic, the better. P.S. I like pretty dresses;)

2) I'll film myself walking around a Barnes and Noble telling people I have an agent and asking if they'll buy my book. This will no doubt be highly embarassing.

3) A La the treatment I did for Clueless, I'll film an entire scene from Mean Girls, and dress up as each character and do every line. If you vote for this, make sure you vote for a scene as well.




Ok, that's all, now I'm going to do some more line edits:-)

  1. I vote for scene from Mean Girls. The assembly scene, where Tim Meadow's feels victimized by Regina George and Tina Fey says the best damn line in the movie.

  2. I love the lit character idea. You would make a great Lady of Shallot- and you know, epic dress idea there.

    Or, you could dress up as Nurse Ratchet and lobotomize people all day long in a nurse uniform.

  3. I vote for Barnes & Noble self-pimping. Yup. Mainly 'cause I don't know any YA characters that'd be fun for you to dress up as. :)

    Though it would be fun to watch you do an Ophelia impression in various fountains around Philly...

  5. I vote for the B & N trek. The mental picture I get from this idea is too priceless to give up! Ha ha ha. :-)

  6. Awww..man. I love all of these ideas! The lit character idea is epic. EP.IC! But, my brain is fogged w/ cold meds right now and I can't come up with a suitable character for you so I think I'm going to have to vote for the flagrant self promotion at B&N! Still fun...less brain activity required from me. :)

  7. I vote for number 1! You should dress up as Elizabeth Bennett, or as someone from the Luxe! Good luck finding a proper dress ;)

  10. *sigh* Well, if I can't have bad romance, I want the character roleplay video. And I want you to play Hermione Granger.

  11. I want to see you do mean girls! Would the scene with the dance be too mean to ask for?

    Nah.

  13. I like the one about being a literary character! Though I'd have to give way more thought until I picked a character...

    Also Frankie I have an award for you over on my blog.

  14. My vote goes to no. 1, and I suggest Hagrid, Helen (of Troy...that's totally from literature, then you could wear a toga and speak Greek or Latin or whatever all day), and Oscar the Grouch (he is totally in books - I can prove it! He's on my bookshelf right now!)

    I know you said you like big dresses, but if it was supposed to be something you liked, then it wouldn't really be a "deal," would it?

  15. I second the Hermione Granger suggestion. But if you do the Mean Girls scene, I think you should do Kevin G.'s rap!

    *Yo Yo Yo!
    All you sucka MCs ain't got nothin' on me!
    From my grades, to my lines you can't touch Kevin G!
    I'm a mathlete,
    so nerd is inferred,
    but forget what you heard I
    'm like James Bond the third, sh-sh-sh-shaken not stirred
    - I'm Kevin Gnapoor!
    The G's silent when I sneak through your door.
    And make love to your woman on the bathroom floor.
    I don't play it like Shaggy,
    you'll know it was me.
    Cause the next time you see her she'll be like,
    OOH! KEVIN G!*

    =D

  18. Hey Frankie! I like the dressing up as a book character for a day idea, lol and I think you would make an awesome Harry Potter or Hermione Granger! :) Also, (because I can't seem to stop talking about it and squeeing) my friend/critique partner just made a cover for my WIP called Devour! Go check it out, it's totally made of WIN! :D <3
