My very second guest blog!

Tag: Guest blog, RTB — Kerry Allen @ 5:00 am

rtb_button_columnist.gifYay! They didn’t ban me for life after my last effort!

The transcript of the new matchmaker pilot I’m pitching to the Bravo network (kidding) is over at RTB today.

The premise: A cowboy, a cop, a billionaire, a Regency rake, a vampire, a villain, and Joe Average walk into a bar.

And it all goes downhill from there.

    Kerry,
    Kris K here, from the GH loop. I read your Romancing The Blog … blog today, and it was fabulous! I had just laid my little guy down for a nap, and I almost woke him up, laughing. I don’t know why you DON’T pitch it as a TV show. A Lifetime special. It would be hysterical.

    I was going to comment on it over at RTB, but decided you needed comments here too. :-)

    And re: your April 17th blog–I felt like I was standing in the post office line next to you, all wiggly-eyebrowed and fuming. :flame: But I would no WAY have had the patience you did. Then you got to the part about “And would you like this sent as Priority Mail?” and I started snorting in laughter again.

    Glad you got your stamps. Does that count as an HEA?

    Thanks for the laughs.
    Kris

    :hang: I had to squee while making my rounds thsi morning. Lilith Effin’ Saintcrow linked to it.

    The only problem I see is that you’re going to become known as “that funny girl.” People are going to read your book expecting comedy and freak out because you’re more on the sadistic side toward your characters there.

    :woowoo: “People are going to read your book.”
    For future reference, anything you say after that is of minimal significance to an unpublished writer.

    I have funny. It’s judiciously sprinkled amidst the torture and despair. Remember?
    Magic beans?
    Ash hole?
    “Tell me that is not a fucking Pottery Barn catalog”?
    (Although I think I took the F out of there because the final F tally was a bit much even for me and there was another F just a few lines before that one…)
    WL is probably less funny than anything else I’ll ever write, though, since Rev literally has no sense of humor for most of the story, and Lia’s pretty uptight herself. (I thought about making her really goofy at one point, but the poor guy would not have been able to cope with that.)

    Thank gawd for secondary characters and their endless supply of one-liners…
