Happy St Patrick's Day. Enjoy the one day of the year when the whole world is Irish.

I've engaged the services of an editor to bash my novel manuscript into shape. I was pretty nervous about the process. As many of you know, I'm not wildly good at banishing self-doubt. But she has been making really cool comments about it on her social media.

And just now she posted this.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHGH! Fewer than 10 pages to go in the first pass through Annie's MS and I have to leave to take a child to an appointment. AAAAAAAHHHHHHGH!

I have a feeling I'm going to be cursing when I finish reading -- because I'll want to READ MORE."

Can you imagine how big the grin is right now? It's like this :D

ROFL!!!  Congratulations, Annie.  I'd take that as official confirmation that your writing is not "pants" and "rubbish," as you keep insisting.   ;D

I just mentioned book 2 to her (it's nearly ready for her to look at, whenever she has a slot in her work schedule) and her response was.

"YAY BOOK 2!

::cough::

I  mean . . . Sure. We'll discuss that when the time comes."

So I haz a happy.

Annie that's fabulous! What a great feeling to have someone else enjoy what you put your heart into.  Looking forward to hearing more about it.
May your horses have wings and fly!

Congratulations!  You are a "real" writer now.

"If having a soul means being able to feel love, loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

James Herriot (James Alfred "Alfie" Wight), when a human client asked him if animals have souls.  (I don't remember in which book the story originally appeared.)

Fantastic Annie!  I hope it's not to long until we can all read it!

So having tried it out on a sample of board members, it has two thumbs-up out of two. Belief may even be starting to emerge from the fog of self-doubt...

Evie

I am working on growing another hand so I can give it a third thumbs-up.  I'd offer to turn my toes up, but that's a different idiomatic expression, and while it's a very good story, I'm not quite sure it's worth dying for....   ;)

LOL! I meant I'd had one thumb up from two people, not two thumbs up from one person. And we can't have you turning your toes up, as you have...

*all those part-written fanfics to finish!*


Laurna

Yah! I'm getting more excited for you every day.
May your horses have wings and fly!

Make that three out of three!  :D
