I am in SUCH a good mood! I’ve got backdated journal entries to upload from Little (poor Little is starting to get banged up. I did see an IBM Thinkpad at the airport yesterday that looks like it’s a Little-like computer, so perhaps when poor Little falls all the way apart I’ll look at something like the Thinkpad for my writing computer), but I’m finally getting caught up with email and work and everything, and I just wanted to post and dance around happily.
*dance dance dance*!
It was really a great weekend. The only person I didn’t get to talk to was John Morgan from Roc, who apparently heard about me early on in the conference and wanted to meet me, but I literally only saw him once, and that was when he was handing out the award for the SF/F section of the contest. It’s too bad, because I’d like to re-submit HoS to Roc after the revisions are done (and assuming Matrice passes on it a second time), and it would’ve been nice to make a personal connection with one of the editors at that house.
Came home to an email from Jenn saying she’d liked the proposal for OPERATION CARDINAL, the Bombshell line book/series I sent her a few weeks ago, and that she was sending it on to Matrice, so wish it luck!
I got about seven thousand words written over the weekend, astonishingly. Mostly on the airplane, and the really wonderful thing is that I’ve hit some kind of critical mass with HoS and broken through the drudgery of having to do major revisions, and they’re now going really well. I still feel like I’m spinning plates, but I’m feeling more confident that they’re all going to stay spinning. I shall charge ONWARD!
I’ll post more updates later when I dig Little out from her case and get the files uploaded. :)
