Lovely author Holly Black (who has a library that makes me ever-so envious) is afraid of zombies.
J.A. Konrath talks about the scariest thing that can happen to a writer, and admonishes people to do regular back-ups.
Agent Nathan Bransford is fleeing from NaNoWriMo (tongue in cheek, though, he says).
My current fear as an agent is that I will come to an untimely end -- or turn into a zombie to scare Holly -- before I manage to get the queries, partials, and manuscripts currently waiting to be read, under control. As the piles lurch about the office droning "brains.... brains....", I find them more of a terror than zombies!
What are you afraid of this Halloween? Maybe it will be what I carved to greet my local trick-or-treaters.....
Happy Halloween!

I back up my information somewhat consistently because I would probably flip out if I lost all my data! That reminds me that I should back it all up on multiple computers soon.
P.S. Awesome carving.
I can say that I have read all queries pre-October at this point; both email and snailmail. So if you sent yours before October 1st, you should resend.
:)
And usually Extra-Special in that way that only Harry Potter Mary Sue's are!
New types of vampires!
But one must never forget they are HOT!
I just wanted to let you know I added you to my friend's list so I can follow along on your adventure.

Ditto on the pumpkin! Boo - everyone! We live in a condo, so no trick or treaters, let alone major decorations. I'm thinking of chucking hubby in the car and driving around tonight to see if we can find Halloween displays to die for. I wish. :-(
I really should get back to the fiction writing grindstone... I wrote one book review today for a book that isn't coming out until February - but damn, it was good. Barry Eisler rock.
Happy Boo-day,
Marianne
(I'm an Aussie, we were deprived of Halloween over there when I was a kid...)
I know that it's getting better. Absolutely is. I'm not just tinkering or moving commas around. But AUGH.
But this year, I have moved to the ass end of Queens, in a much more suburban area, in the top unit of a two-story house. My door opens to the outside, with no screen door. AS it is, when I come home, I have to use a spray water-bottle to keep the cats from darting outside.
I'm terrified of opening the door a hundred times and tempting fate. One of my cats is jet black, and I have an irrational fear that people may do bad things to a black cat on Halloween.
Is that totally crazy?
(Also, I am afraid of cannibals and movies about cannibals. Just freaks me out utterly.)
Anyway, Happy Halloween!
I carved a turtle from the World Wildlife Fund.
As for my fears, I've been jumpy hearing some of the firecrackers in front of my house tonight. Go figure! :)
