Sorry to hear about all the pets. That's always a brutal thing to deal with.

Just think, you'll soon be a famous author. If not, we'll track down the jokers who said no and rough 'em up a bit.

Congratulations on having that Monday night game handed to you on a silver platter.

Sorry to hear about your dog and kitten.

Congrats on finishing your book revisions. I sure agree that it's nerve-wracking to have to wait around to hear their response.

PS: Welcome back to the intertubes.

Hurrah! You're back. I've been sitting at this computer for months just staring at the screen, waiting, waiting ...

Sad, sad news about your little pup and kitten. Losing pets just tears you into pieces.

But good, good news that the MS is receiving positive feedback. My fingers are firmly crossed. I hope it makes it to this side of the pond.

All the best.

Yay! So glad to see you back. I was very sorry to hear about your dog and cat though - it's so hard when we lose our pets.

Congratulations on the completed manuscript - fingers crossed that it will be accepted!

Candace,

Good luck with the book. I did some self publishing of one of my books and it turned out to be a success. The third book, I easily picked up an agent, willing to take it.

As my ideas are sometimes good and my writing is always bad, I have had to constantly work with a copy editor and have constant critiques. Which has really helped me put my ideas in better format.

Good Luck!

Is this your first?

Thanks, everyone! Y'all have been busy blogging away and it's fun for me to try to catch up on everything.

I appreciate the sympathies for my pets and also the crossed fingers for the MS!
