Whew, I just finished the first thing I ever wrote, with the intention of others actually reading it. I feel sick. I sent it to two friends but I haven't heard from them. Totally nervewracking! Deep sigh, I know everyone is so busy right now, it's hard for me to ask them to read it. I spoke with the Editor yesterday, asking about the deadline. January 8th, he said. I didn't want to hurt your creativity. So nice, but the date is coming up so fast. I have so many questions, so many busy people to annoy....
So back to my story. I think it's good, but of course I do, I wrote it. I have the opportunity of a lifetime. The chance to publish in a Paranormal Magazine with over 150,000 subscribers. If it works out and the Editor likes the story, I can get a Literary Agent and publish the book I have been writing for a year. Hmmm, no pressure there.
So back to work now, the kids are all up and Spongebob has replaced the morning news. Which is, frankly, a relief from the fashion show and recipe swap that is now passing for news.
