Waiting for the Manuscript
5/15/2008 6:11:59 AM
Polishing the Apple
Early next week my manuscript will be returned from my proofreader, then I plan to contact Peter Miller of PMA and see if he again will graciously read something of mine with an eye toward publication success.
My goal: Be a successful, respected novelist.
In the meantime, I'll continue my revision of my Matlacha book. I'd like a two-book deal. But who wouldn't?
Occasionally, I might falter in my resolve, but not for long. Writing is definitely my gig!!
My most exciting news of the week is that my daughter is pregnant with twins. I woke up in the middle of the night still giggling. No, it wasn't a laugh--it was most definitely giggling. How absolutely FUN!!!
