This cracked me up. Go Santa.
What’s been going on with everyone? I’ve had a successful writing weekend. I finished a chapter on my Erotic Romance that I’m co-writing with Maria. It’s hot. Seriously hot. Our hero is a man’s man with a brain. When he slammed the bad guy against the wall and threatened to kill him if dude ever came near the heroine again, I thought I’d swoon.
I got another rejection last week on Leave the Light On. Don’t these guys know what they’re passing up??? Sheesh. Don’t they realize they’re supposed to be offering me the world sliced up on a platter made of platinum the moment they read my name?
Lots of good things have been going on in my RWA chapter. We’ve had some new sales and some agent and editor requests. That’s so exciting…Christmas come early!
Anybody got any good news to share?

I appreciate the well wishes and kind thoughts, guys, but honestly, the rejections are just a part of the business. I’ve had 3. That’s it. So, right now, I’m not really worried or distressed about them–just relaying the news.Now, does anyone have any good news to report?

Thanks Mel! Thanks Robin.I just got an update -Only her breathing tube is left to come out. She’s starting to cough which I guess is a major deal, means she’s getting stonger and her blood pressure is stablized. It’s still touch and go. But WOW, every day now is a miracle.Thanks for letting me share, Mel!

I have no good news…I have only bad news…I think I’m becoming pessimistic. I sort of lost my job (but not really) this week which put me into a tailspin for about 4 hours. Now I’ve just got to wait and see what’s going to happen…I’m sure it’ll all work out but I hate bad news. Stinkin bears.
