happy-trot
just a little happy dance (maybe more like a happy-trot…lol).
Got a note from the editor yesterday who’s had my short story since January. She likes it (she likes it!). Says the premise is “fresh”, but that she’d like to work with me to make it “sparkle” before they offer me a contract.
Way cool. Especially since I *love* sparkly things.
On another good/bad note, I didn’t meet the goals with the seriouswriter girls for this three weeks. Yeah, I know. Fork over the money, honey! Just got hit with one of those mid-winter depressions from the weather (the snow is melting…I see the shingles of my neighbor’s roof!)
The good part of that is that the new goal is to have, in three weeks’ time, 10 queries in the (e)mail. Ten, whoa! That means I actually have to SEND the queries I write, huh? LOL. Cheated a little. I sent one out this morning (official new goals don’t go into effect til tonight). I think the girls will cut me some slack!
Get back to writing…

It's pretty simple, really. I'm a writer who loves writing about writing, and sharing all the tricks of the trade with other writers. And when I'm not writing, I'm thinking about writing. I have a hunch you know what I mean :)
