Was in NC when PNC 10-miler took place. Wife fractured humerus in left arm didn’t stop us from seeing granddaughter perform in high school marching band festival competition … she’s 2nd generation color guard.
so sorry to hear of you wife. I broke my left wrist falling down in July. Its been no end of trouble, but I keep on going. Didn't stop my rowing one bit. . . I should be up to 2 million meters by the time the new year comes around! Congrats to your granddaughter I know how hard those festivals can be. . .my specialty was choir where I did alto solos!
Thanks, Diana! It has been. As much as I love doing this, you need a break sometimes, you know? To let your mind just sit fallow for a bit and be. This has been good for that 😀
Good here--and thanks for asking about the book. I had an agent interested, but SADLY she had just sold a book with a similar theme AND title--so there was a conflict. (Insert boo-hoo emojis.)
I've gotten several full manuscript requests--but so far....nothing. However, this does not sadden me as I figure that if I've gotten this far, a "goal" has been met. (In other words, I've done my bit.) And since I can't control the other stuff, I'm focusing on the wins!
This comment cracked me up. I read it last night and I've yet to stop giggling. I could--but I am an abysmal self-promoter. (I mean, the worst.) And also..I'd always thought if I couldn't land an agent and a "conventional deal" it might mean the work wasn't quite there.
So...once I get to "100 Rejections" (that's my goal. I love a goal--however ill-advised they might be :) I'm moving on. And I'm kinda okay with that....HOWEVER, who doesn't love a Hallmark ending???

Fantastic format with this newsletter! It's visually so easy to navigate. Hope your time away did your soul some good.

How’ve you been? How’s the book coming?

Could you self-publish, or have I been watching too many TV movies?

Running is well running. Looking forward to visiting GA and running the Atlanta Half on Thanksgiving Day
Good luck at the Thanksgiving Half here! Are you based in Atlanta?
