Names That I Call Myself (or Split Personality)

Tip of the Day: Buy books for all your holiday gifts! Support the industry!

So it's been almost a year since I signed with my agent. Wow! The year has flown by! And while we haven't gotten a book deal yet, we have a plan (more writing, revising, submitting, of course!). But after 365 days, I don't think I'm "recently repped" anymore.

What I am is all of these things -- but which one has the nicest ring to it/most meaning and hope?

Miss Determined to Debut -- I am certainly determined and pride myself on my determination.

Miss Coveting a Contract -- I like the aliteration, but does coveting sound negative?

Miss Subbing for Pubbing -- No lie here. This is what I'm doing and it has a nice Seuss-like rhyming quality.

Miss Sure to Sell -- The optimism here is wonderful, and I like a positive message.

Miss Envisioning Editors -- Yes, I think about the editors reading my manuscripts and picture them offering contracts.

Which of these Misses should I be for 2009? Or if you have any brand new suggestions, please post them in the comments!

Deena, Miss Recently Repped

Oh my gosh, I love Miss Subbing for Pubbing!! I guess I'm very Dr. Seuss-y too.

How about Miss Ready to Rock the YA World!

I'm with you, now, sister. Repped and ready! Maybe that should be my monaker: Miss Repped and Ready!

Now...back to working on my pitch packet.

Wow, I don't know which one's my favorite. I kind of like Envisioning Editors. And GG's suggestions of Miss Read to Rock the YA World and Miss Repped and Ready are really good.

I think Repped and Ready is my favorite now.

Oooh, I like Repped and Ready too. It's so energetic.
