Back in the saddle, baby
Late-breaking news from my most wonderful agent. She’s happy with the latest novel revision. The book, it’s heading back out into the world in search of a loving publisher.
Which means:
1. Woot!
2. Now I get to stress again about when/if/how it will sell rather than stressing about when/if/how it will be ready to start making the rounds again.
3. I can get back to work on the abandoned next novel. I’ve missed it. All this time I’ve been revising the first one, I really wanted to be working on the second one. It’s like falling head over heels for someone new and then having to go away on a year-long business trip with your ex.
So, let the anxious hopeful stress begin. Again.
Fingers. Cross ’em if ya got ’em.
yay! what great news! fingers crossed it wows ’em all!
xoxo
