Guess you've figured out by now that I have the patience of a gnat!<br /><br />Oh, yes, Sarah, the dirty little secret no pubbed author likes to confess: we're only as good as our last book or our next proposal. But I will say this: that first sale is a confidence booster out the wazzoo, and it opens doors to you that you wouldn't have as unpubbed. So I'm grateful. VERY grateful.<br /><br />Nelsa, you know how I freak, don't you?? Thanks for all the hand-holding!<br /><br />Jennifer, glad to know I'm not alone! Let's hope that there's something in my proposal that sparks my editor's, "Yeah, if we fix that and this and that, then yeah, yanno, I think we can sell this sucker" button. :-) Good thing I'm always open to revising!Cynthia Reesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128418037470085123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32292343.post-60100043752594529042010-04-28T20:21:06.765-05:002010-04-28T20:21:06.765-05:00I'm the SAME way.
