BASE JUMPING ANYONE?
WITHOUT GOOGLING IT, (or reading any comments--they may be a spoiler) PLEASE answer my poll question:
I'm writing my query and trying to figure out if I say one of my characters was BASE Jumping, will agents know what that means? Or will it cause a HUH moment?
Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Query time, how exciting? Good luck to you.
ReplyDeleteI voted, then I looked it up on Wikipedia. Holy Cow. You couldn't pay me enough to do that.
ReplyDeleteno idea what it is
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it, but I don't know exactly what it is. In context, surely an agent could figure it out?
ReplyDeleteYes, I'd watched videos of it but never done it myself! Have you???
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to hear you're putting out another query. Yay, you!
I voted :) Dude, I loved skydiving but there is no way in H-E-Double Hockey Sticks would I ever BASE jump.
ReplyDeleteAlexandra wants to go BASE jumping. It would be like FLYING!!!! (I also want to take up motocross as a hobby, so that should tell you about my mental state)
ReplyDeleteHey lady! I tried voting but it said I already did! Weird. But sorry to say I don't know what it is. Looking at your comments it sounds terrifying. I shall not be doing that anytime soon with my 8.5 month pregnant belly!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of agents?
We call some things, FBI clues, they are so obvious.
Sorry Alistair, I had to.
I learned what base jumping was from Along Came Polly. Ben Stiller movies do teach things. I don't care what anybody says.
ReplyDeleteI don't even think I've heard of it. Still haven't looked it up on Wikipedia :P
ReplyDeleteOh yes. Base jumping is at the top of my List of Things I Would Do If I Was Immortal.
ReplyDelete:)
No idea-sounds like something you'd do in outer space--jumping from satellite to satellite?
ReplyDeleteNope...not my idea of a good time!!! :0)
ReplyDeleteCheers
Hmm...I would assume they don't. I wrote my query letter referencing Capture the Flag and got feedback that people didn't know what it is. CAPTURE THE FLAG! I couldn't believe it.
ReplyDeleteYes! I know what it is.
ReplyDeleteHmm...I assumed that most people "in the know," such as book editors, were familiar with what base jumping was by now. It's right up there with bungee jumping as far as I know.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I didn't know what the letters stood for, but I did have the basic concept down.
ReplyDeleteYou have a fabulous blog! I want to award you the Creative Blog Award for all the hard work you do!
ReplyDeleteI invite you to follow me as we have a lot in common, but no pressure. I’m not giving you the award just so you will follow me. You really do deserve it!
My blog specialize in helping writers get published by learning from agents, editors and authors who I interview.

Take care and have a nice day :-)
