I had a really good day. For many reasons. Let’s start with the big one.
MY BOOK GROUNDS FOR AROUSAL FINALED IN THE STROKE OF MIDNIGHT CONTEST!!!! Yup, just got the email tonight. It’s for the contemporary category. Meaning Kate Duffy at Kensington will be reading it. It took me awhile to regain consciousness, but I’m good to go now. I’m super excited. What more can I say?
Okay, the other reasons my day was good. I got a response from one of the companies I requested a gift certificate from for the Seattle conference. I have acquired us a one night stay at the Rosario Resort on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands. That’s pretty darn fabulous. That place is gorgeous and isn’t cheap. Woo whoo! Gonna bring in some money on those raffles. Which is great, because we donate a good amount of the proceeds to DAWN (domestic abuse women’s shelter.)
Another reason my day rocked. I got my book cover business cards! TONS of cards with my book, my name, and the publishers name on the front, and little calendars on the back. Let me tell ya, gonna hand those suckers out like candy on Halloween “Here, take five, you look like you could use it! And don’t forget to share with your friends!”
Also, I worked out today! Eating wasn’t the best, wasn’t the worst, but I exercised. And that felt fabulous. My thighs are still shaking. In a good way.
And I must add on a happy little cute note, I did write one story this year that had no sex. That Christmas story I subbed to Highland Press. The one that my conservative family can read (should it be accepted.) And so my 11-year-old niece wanted to read it. And I kept putting her off, but finally after constant harassment I gave in. And she liked it! It was so sweet. She thought the french kissing bit was icky, but liked the rest. Even asked if I had anything more in the PG department to read. Hee hee. Um. No. Not yet anyways.
All right. That’s it for now. Not much more to say… oh wait!
Happy Easter tomorrow! Or today, technically!
