I admit that luck played a role for me, but it only happened because I spent lots of time doing research into editors and publishers -- I think that's also vital.<br /><br />My hat is off to all of you who keep sending your work out, especially in these tough times. As Jack learned about welcoming Maggie's invisible monkeys into his home, you've got to believe!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00258344359194150702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647218177948670695.post-31006741226010858882009-08-02T20:06:40.636-04:002009-08-02T20:06:40.636-04:00Very cool story!

I especially like the part about staying true to what you liked about your own story (as you knew writers would!)<br /><br />Obviously, your persistence really paid off, as did your belief in yourself and your willingness to revise when necessary. These are such key ingredients in going from Writer to Author, don't you think?<br /><br />Wishing you the best!<br /><br />Shelleystoryqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039684494823420722noreply@blogger.com
