Confessions and Passions of a Compulsive Writer

WOOOOOO!!!!!

I wish I had something terribly articulate to say this morning, but scanning through six pages of pitches and watching so many of them fail.... I honestly didn't want to even look this morning. I had six pages of dread and anticipation sitting in my stomach.

So... my excitement this morning is also partly relief and a rush, but I'm still very excited.


It's also probably tacky and so on to be so excited, but I'm tacky and so on... and I'm wearing pjs with skulls on them so clearly tacky is my realm.

Okay... deep breath. I should really do a good thorough scour of Scorched today... after I'm done dancing around and eating cupcakes.

WOO! Wahooo! Woo!

and more dancing around!!!

    Mine is the tenth manuscript request she has made out of about 175 pitches read so far. She still has about forty pitches left to comment on. Elana has about the same amount left, I believe.

    Catherine, yeah... I'd watched so many passes on the previous pages, I wasn't holding out much hope.

    I'm so happy to read about the request for a full! Congrats!

    I had a dream last night that I queried before finishing my manuscript. I woke up in a cold sweat.

    Thanks, everyone!!! I got it sent off this morning. There was that moment of absolute panic after I hit send and it'll be followed by many more panicked minutes, but it's done. Yay. Now, I just have to figure out what to concentrate on now. Hmmm.
