Tests and Publishers

Ahhhhhhhhh what can I say. I didnt do much this weekend except printed my book at kinkos, and all 500 pages of it and wrote essay tests for my night business classes. It cost me $35 to print the book, but the cost of printer paper and an ink cartage would have consumes that. I HAVE to get the edits done. Im on page 200. They are simple edits and I plan on having them done by Friday. Why so soon? I have another publisher interested in me! YEAHHHH. I really hope the literay agency in New York comes through though. I like the people there, they are kind and I think I could have a good working relationship with them. They are Writers House, and even if they pass me be by, I will have the utmost respect for them. Im praying though, very heavily that they like my work. Ill know in 6-8 weeks.

My book is better and better each time I rewrite. Now I know why writers talk about edits, Im literally throwing away 50% of my original writing, not totally throwing it away, I have placed in in another file for future useage. Ive always heard writers talk about disgaurding alot of their work during edits, now I understand. Ive had that "aha" moment. I want to give a big thank to Laurell K Hamilton who helpd me recently. May the Goddess bless you even more!

Slainte Caire!
