Happy Dancing

 Just shipped off a little story called "Hero Material" to the editor who requested it.  Don't know if he'll accept it, but I can't tell you how gratified I am he asked in the first place.  
Tomorrow it's back to Highway from Hell, specifically the synopsis.  It seems to be giving people the wrong impression.  I'm really happy I learned about the problem before I started sending the novel to editors.  Incidentally, the information came from a rejected query.  That's the kind of critical feedback which makes the agent query process worthwhile.  :-)
Cheers and smiles,
Jean Marie

Whee-yay!

I wish I'd had time to beta read the shortie for you, but alas, this week has been desperately busy. Good luck!

Understood {{{{quietselkie}}}}. No problem. I lucked out and got lots of typo hunters this time. So it was all good. :D
Frankly, I'd have been more worried if you tried to beta. The trip to Florida, while it provided the rest of us a lot of smiles, must've been terribly stressful. And the return to the Vortex of the Weird... Well, you returned to the Vortex of the Weird. What more need be said. :-) At least you have Smeds to enforce what passes for normalcy.
Hugs and grins,
Jean Marie

Good luck with both of those. :)

Thanks {{{{klgrem}}}}}! And next time, I hope we get to see your smiling face in the pic with Bob. Big hugs and smiles, Jean Marie

Congrats on finishing the story, JM!

Thanks {{{{realthog}}}}! It feels especially good since this was an entirely new project. I was beginning to go through a lot of neurotic writer antics about plots and deadlines. It was such a relief to be able to deliver a brand, spanking new story, to spec and ahead of deadline. Only a week ahead of deadline, but still ahead. ;-)
Big hugs,
Jean Marie
