And off it goes, all 43 chapters.

Just submitted to Orson Scott Card's publishing company. I'm not, not, not, expecting anything to come of it. I suspect Tim will be published first... although, I was rejected first I think. Back in 1962, Betsy Barteau. Literarily, back in 1990. Is Literarily a word? Guess it is now, huh?

GOOD for YOU for doing this!! It's hard; putting your baby up in the window makes you vulnerable!! But you did it, and i'm VERY proud of you!!

YAY!!!

Which one went??

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

With a bit o' editing, the first Bags and Pockets. I figured it may very well have been the best of the lot so far, and if it's not, well.. there's more where that came from.

I don't feel so vulnerable, really. Happy I got it done, happy I was cool enough to be able to concentrate on where the chapter breaks were. Darn happy to actually have had a place to submit it to. We'll find out in about 3 months if it's been looked at.

I'm happy right with ya, Chetster! And good on you for your objectivity! It pays to have it on hand sometimes, eh? *grin*

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Yep. We'll see what happens!

[shackrlu.livejournal.com]

GOOD for YOU!!

[tapestry01.livejournal.com]

Good luck!
And you'll get published before me.

Ha! Hey.. your material would also work on this site. It creates both Print and Web Books, and takes themes all over, as long as they are NON fiction.

You gonna go celebrate PB's anniversary tonight?

[the-jenny-of-oz.livejournal.com]

Woohoo!! Good luck, Chet!

oh! ...and have fun tonight!... ;-)

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It was, and we even won some booty! Tim, exhausted, went home early, but we saved the Tshirt for him.

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Yay, you!

Sorry we missed the anniversary party...

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Pshaw. No need to be sorry. It was noisy and crowded and you would have not liked it very much at all. Seems to me you had your own stuff to take care of, and that's the important thing, ya know?

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

True...

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

Still... last time, when you and Bruce and Jenny were there, I felt a start of a connection, a bonding if you will, between us three and you folk. Granted, there was one already there, but this was a strengthening, sort of a quickening. Let's see how the party goes, cuz you're gonna be 39 again pretty soon!

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

Oh, I so hope all of you are here! And yeah, but not 39 ...anybody can repeat 39!

I prefer "32 with 20 years experience" actually!

My dad, at 65, started saying that he was going backwards but I told him, "That won't work because soon we'd meet and then you'd be younger than me and that's just wrong!"
To which he said, "Oh, ok...I'll just act like it then. Durned if he wasn't right!

Can't wait to see you guys at the party if we don't see you first elsewhere...

IWanna Come Party Wiff You All :(

[rowangolightly.livejournal.com]

I wish you could, too, love! Another time I REALLY would love to have "nose-twitching" abilities!

Now, the time to come out would actually be next year on Labor Day weekend to Kansas City 'cause that's the wedding and a little birdie told me that Capi's might be coming out!

[journiey.livejournal.com]

If I Could Afford To I Would SO Be There!!!

[journiey.livejournal.com]

I"M SO PROUD!!!!!!

[joegoda.livejournal.com]

I believe they also take short stories... Hint, hint.

[journiey.livejournal.com]

Alright :) Which One(s) Do You Think I Should Submit?
