Liza Minelli does. But what does Liza (with a Zee) have do so with pitching our mss?
Tonight I heard her say,
“Magic happens when luck and preparation meet.”
I think that’s so relevant to preparing for our pitches and submissions.
Be as prepared as you can and let the magic happen.
Wishing you all the PERFECT PITCH!
PS
It’s now 2012 and with a two-book deal with Simon & Schuster publishing I think I can add my own quote. I don;t believe in magic, but I do believe in luck and:
“Luck happens when preparedness and opportunity meet.”
So to move to that next step (publication) start seeking out opportunites by joining a writers group (local or online), attend writers/readers conferences and festivals, and ask around. You’ll be surprised how generous and supportive people in this business really are.
The knees already starting to shake in anticipation. Thanks Jen *vbg*
Hi Jenn
OK, you might be prepared but how do you know you’re gonna get lucky?
Scary stuff. And did you hear how the phone/internet lines jammed when Liza announced her Australian tour?
And trivia – she’s had both hips replaced.
She’s doing well considering I thought she was already dead!!! I’d love to see her. Hmmm let’s see – pitch at conference and maybe fulfil life-long dream of being published or see Liza (with a zee)?????
I’m REALLY nervous. I’m a bit worried that I might vomit on the person I’m pitching to. Do you think that’ll work against me?!
Girls just piture everyone in the room naked. Well that is suppose to work.
I know you are all going to shine.
