Can't wait to see what you & Michael dreamed up together. <br /><br />Good advice - it seems that it's only when I've convinced myself that I'm in control of the universe that everything falls apart. Good on you for getting up & making it all work again - probably even better than it was before, eh?

We've had TWO GLORIOUS days in a row! I am super thrilled!!!! Love the light. Plan to go out into the park and edit my second novel in a bit. Maybe even start your back cover.

Sunday, expecting to get my manuscript back from it's second edit, after three weeks I found out the editor dropped the project, and no one took the time to tell me. Now, finally, my book is with a new editor, with the promise I'll have it at weeks end. Oh yeah, I feel real confidant now! <br />Hang in there 'things happen for a reason, things happen for a reason, things happen for a good reason!'Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073226012013539726.post-63998551830983464882013-07-03T18:18:54.845+02:002013-07-03T18:18:54.845+02:00I read that Michael was doing your cover - that...I read that Michael was doing your cover - that's awesome!!
