Okay. Having been roundly chastised by
vflick (
::waves at vflick:: ), I'll expand on my previous post. ;)
I heard back from Samhain--you know, the publisher that hosted that contest of which I was one of the winners? Right. Them.-- and the editor requested the rest of my novel. Of course that's no guarantee of a contract, but it's still most exciting! And it's at least a month earlier than I exepected to hear anything at all. Whee! The only downside at the moment is that I now cannot even remotely focus on the story I'm currently writing. D'oh! Ah well. It'll keep for the time being. If I had more energy I'd be bouncing off the walls. As it is, it's better this way. If I was bouncing off the walls I think the cat would have much fear. And who could blame her? Certainly not I.
I'm still a bit gobsmacked, but my brain is at least functioning at mostly coherent levels again now.
