So I’ve got my big ole ‘thank you Cherry’ package ready to send off in the mail. Not much, but just a little something something to tell her how FREAKING AMAZING she is.
I have to say mega congrats to mi amiga Michelle who writes as Lillian Feisty and has made her first sale (on her first submission!) to the EC Caveman 2007 anthology. So congrats, Michelle! You deserve it!
Then I have to offer up some M&M covered congrats to my almost three year old daughter Emma. Emma has successfully and consistently been using the potty 2-3 times a day for a few days in a row now. This up from once a month! The thought of having a potty trained child is completing thrilling, and a little scary? The scary part comes from the images of being in the car on the freeway during traffic, and her piping up that she has to go potty. Still, I think the ‘oh sh*t’ moments will be worth not having to break the piggy bank for diapers.
I read an ebook today. A long one. And it was gooood. I got encouraged by the Literary Sass review of Celia Stuart’s Once in a Blue Moon. See I bought Celia’s book ages ago, but hadn’t yet made time to read it. I made the time last night/today. It was seriously good stuff, she sucked me in. Celia has a voice that makes me want to pack my bags, move to Texas, and find myself a beta cowboy. Seriously, she makes beta’s hot. Thanks, Celia, for the fabulous read!
Okay, so after yesterday’s post I was ready to retire those two books, right? Then I decided to have Jodie and Michelle read the one that won the Stroke of Midnight. And ya know what? They both said I should keep aiming for NY with it. That it was really good. So I’m about to beat my head into a wall now. I just don’t know. I think I’ll send out two more queries, which will bring it up to 4 ‘hope’s in the mail’ I’m waiting to hear back on . If they all come back with an R, they’re going to epubs.
Here’s my Halloween pic of the day….
