What a relief!

Well, it's been a few days since I have made an entry. Life often gets in the way of what we love most. A lot has happened since my last post. Firstly, I sent an e-mail to the publishers to see if my manuscript had actually arrived and low and behold, it hadn't! After a couple months of waiting, I must say I was pretty happy to hear that it was merely a technical error that was the reason I hadn't heard anything. This I could fix! I resent a letter to them and requested that, even though it was unconventional to ask, could they please send me a simple reply letting me know the manuscript actually got there. Well, today I received just that! They not only allowed me to resubmit my manuscript, but were so nice to drop me a note to let me know it arrived safely and I would hear within a week regarding my manuscript's status. How wonderful! Gosh, a publisher who honestly cares about the writer. What a blessing! I am excited, nervous and very uplifted! Did I mention nervous? I believe reality is sinking in. It is one thing to write a journal or post online your favorite poem, but to put your thoughts together on paper, bind them and not only want people to buy it, but hope the contents are a work you are proud of. I want to be proud of every word/message on my manuscript. I hope I did myself proud!
Well, I will be writing soon. It appears that this waiting game is about to take a turn.
Take care and God Bless
