You know how one small thing can change your whole life? I had one of those life-changing moments this morning.
The editor I met with last week for lunch, gave me feedback on the chapter I sent her, and it's truly amazing what a good editor can do. This morning she gave me an offer I can't refuse.
I took a very hard look at my finances, talked with my best friend, and decided to go for it.
I sent her an e-mail reply, telling her I would contract with her. I have an editor and publisher in one. It will be a five-year contract, but she wants to see the manuscript before she contracts, which is understandable.
My whole life has changed and gone in a new direction, which is the same direction, but a different path along the road.
I'm so excited, I'm ready to burst.
Do you have exciting news? Thanks for reading.

i am excited to be back to work, but only to feel frustrated again, because we will not have duty next week. the good news however is our duty will extend for 2 more days to make up the missed 2 days next week.

YAY! I sure hope she gets you published with one of the popular places and you become a best seller. You deserve it!
This is how I felt the day I opened the online store, even though it was still a mess.
I am cheering for you.
