Fantastic news! Humongous congrats!

Thank you so much for sharing the time line and process.

How in the world did you keep the news to yourself? Secret distraction? Well, you never know when we can be in a similar situation. Right?

Mar. 7th, 2008 02:31 am (UTC)
Thank you, Anna.

And thank you for Johnny.

:-)

P.S. I kept the news to myself by blurting it out to every live human I saw ... while remaining quiet online.

OMG!!!!!!! Congratulations!!! And I can't believe you waited a month to share. That must have been murder!!

But you know what... When Jennifer posted a week or so ago that she'd made a sale, I just had a feeling it was you. Call it ESP or whatever.

Whoops! How did that get posted before I was done typing? Stupid LJ. Anyway, what was I saying? Oh yes. I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE YOU!!

I'm so happy for you. Can't wait to read your book when it comes out. Er, make that books. And congrats to Jenn as well. You both rock!
