Loving This Day

This day has been anything but normal. And it's been FANTASTIC!
I put the babies down for a nap, and was finishing up the manuscript, and the door opens. And there in all of her full sobbing, sad glory was MFN.
If there is one thing in the whole world that I am good at and usually never screw up ever, it's ...I don't know, whatever today was. Maybe it's the girl in me or the mom in me, but nurturing is good. Feels good. So I did what any good neighbor would do and got her drunk. NO I DIDN'T. There were some really amazing things that kept happening while she was here, other than the Truman-Style running man who happened to pass by every time she looked outside. But that is her story to tell. It was pretty cool to watch though. I was lucky to have it all unfold infront of me the way it did.
Then we walked to get Julia, had lunch and Kimmy came over. She went to go get us Indian food from a place by Savers that starts with a T and is FREAKING AWESOME. I sent my manuscript out to a place. How many different places do I want to send it to???????D would say self publish and ebook all the way, which I can still do. At least I think I can still do. Let's face it- if you've seen my paint job you know I'm not a details kind of girl. A publisher will be good. Don't you kind of want to stomp on my foot for sounding so blase as if someone is going to actually WANT to publish me? Someone will. I'm not worried. I'm sorry if it's irritating, but the right place will want it and things will be good.
However, I'm not ready to talk about the book in detail yet, I'm sorry. This is definitely one of the times where letting a bunch of people that I don't know read it is easier.
I have a message in my in box from Heidi Who I Broke Up With And Then Invited To My Parents Surprise Party. I wish you'd come hold my hand. I'm scared to read it. Barf. Okay, here goes...WOW. Completely normal and almost sounds like ...nice! :) I should trust people more. HAHAHA that was funny, wasn't it? I get talked to constantly about not being so trusting. BAH HUMBUG!
So there- suddenly the day is almost over and I've had some of my favorite people over all day long. My life rules!!!!!
Now, how many publishers do I send this thing to?

  1. Fine, fine. Don't tell me what your book is about, but what kind of book. Fiction, nonfiction, autobiography?
