Good News

It's too early to celebrate-- WAY too early to celebrate, but yesterday I got a phone call that had me actually shaking with excitement. It was from an agent in New York City that wants to read my manuscript. I'm editing like a mad woman so I can get it out this week. I'll just cross my fingers. Maybe I won't have to be a closet novelist for too many more years. It would be nice to join the ranks of actual published novelists. We'll see.

    Wow. That's exciting. I think I'd be shaking too! What kind of story is it or what's it about?

    This is the fifth manuscript that I've written and the only one I think is good enough to publish. The short of it is this: its a young adult loose modern adaptation of the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

    And, Earlgirl, I want you to know that after reading your review of Twilight, I went back through the already finished manuscript and tried to make it more "mom friendly". There were a few places where I just couldn't get around the way the action evolves because later scenes hinge on a few of the "standards violations" but I hope it's clean enough for you. If it's ever published, you'll have to let me know. ;)

    I am so excited for you. You are a great writer and I will love being able to tell people that I am your sister (in-law--I may not add that last part in so that I seem like a closer relation. JK!)
