I may sit on it for ages--but never dump. Don't ever dump when you're in any type of 'mood'. I'd hate to see you regret it later! <br /><br />Years ago, I had Harlequin request a full MS of a book. I was soooo excited. Of course, when they didn't offer on it, I was so depressed, I trashed it. I've never been able to re-write it--and to be honest, I still think it was a good book.<br /><br />Anything back from your editor request yet? <br /><br />I got my first acceptance letter on my birthday one year--was a great feeling, let me tell you!<br /><br />Now, I'm doing more with self-publishing. I still have stuff with various e-pubs--but I've honestly done more in sales with my self-published stuff. Weird, I know.<br /><br />As for the puter crash--which I "tried" to post yesterday. ALWAYS email your stuff to yourself :D I hate losing stories.<br /><br />We lost a lot on an external hard drive crash :( I have multiple backups of my stuff now.<br /><br />Did you try to "fix" Windows with the original CD? Sometimes that will work and you don't lose pics and docs, just some programs.<br /><br />Bake away! Send me cookies! Man, I miss my grandma's Christmas cookies.Hope Welshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007282596035816113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250530615581285439.post-54059361870272908002010-12-13T13:37:55.607-08:002010-12-13T13:37:55.607-08:00*cries* I heart long posts :D
Thanks for the well...*cries* I heart long posts :D<br /><br />Thanks for the well wishes. I'm going to do a lot of baking and a little writing. Can't do as much as I want to do because in my current frame of mind, I'm likely to dump all of the story and start over. <br /><br />I know, however, that none of the stories that made it through the ringer are dump worthy. Therefore, I shall write until I feel the negative vibes are exploding, then I shall bake. I have literally 30+ Christmasy recipes that I am going to bak in next few days/week and I'm going to make Christmas wreathes and take back my art room from the dogs, cats, and meeses, then I'm going to spend my weekend writing. <br /><br />Holy cow. Maybe should have saved that all for tomorrows post? LOL<br /><br />Thanks for the comment. You have helped bring my optimistic determination back into play. Now, if only it will get to the forefront, we shall get something accomplished!Leonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786326364037397675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250530615581285439.post-65652234053289628022010-12-13T05:01:26.205-08:002010-12-13T05:01:26.205-08:00Just had a long post and it ate it.
