Good: I just learned that I won a contest.
Bad: I can’t tell anyone about it, not the name of the contest, nor the editor who was the final judge, nothing.
Good: The editor requested the full manuscript.
Better: She is the second editor to request a full for this manuscript.
Bad: I need to rewrite it before I can show the whole thing to anyone besides a cat.
Critic Cat Is Not Impressed
On the plus side, I should finish the final read through of the manuscript I wrote for the Manuscript Matchmaker contest by Sunday. I think I got all the requested tweaks revised the way they should be, but I am trusting my kind editor to tell me if I need to go back in and revise some more. Knowing that I have another editor waiting for another manuscript is good motivation to not slack off on the current work.
That’s not good news. That’s fantastic news! I can’t wait to read your books! (Yes, plural.)
Thank you, Me!
Evelyn, that is wonderful news!! I want to know more. *pout* Is this the ms I read? No? How many have you written, anyway?
Can’t wait until you’re free to share details. I’m SO excited for you!
Thank you, KD! This is the sequel to the ms you read, James Forster’s story.
I wish I could share the details!
