*leans in and whispers*

I sort of let them think it’s already sold. Play along or they’ll turn that Sin character on us. I hear she has…weapons.

And, Terri, I’ve loved this story. I can’t wait for it to go out on query!

Di R – You are too good to me. I adored writing those drabbles and that will always be where this crazy ride started. And those drabbles taught me how to write tight, which really helped me find my voice.

Janga – It is fun to see how many of us started with those. I always feel good when I remember that I went up against Maggie, Tiff, Hellie and several others and felt good having my work next to theirs. And you can hold your own whether with 500 or 85,000 words.

I loved to write the drabbles, I just didn’t have the courage to post them. However I learned a lot in the writing of them.

Di, those EJ-board drabbles showcased a lot of talent that has reached or is reaching fruition. I can brag about them without vanity since they were not my forté.

I have loved your writing since you were writing drabbles on EJ’s board (before JQ). I voted for you, based on your voice alone, so count me as one who will be in line to buy this the day it’s released.

“Elite is the word
Elite is the word, is the word that you heard
It’s got airs, it’s all condescending,
Elite is the time, is the place is the motion
Elite is the way we are spending”

And the Summer Lovin’ one…that’d be fun. It could be the song at the dance where she overhears that he doesn’t think anyone of interest is at the dance, and certainly not Eliza Bennet who no one wants to dance with….

That reminds me, they played the third Pirates movie all weekend along and I watched to get me prepared for this visit. I think it helped!

I have to head out for a little while, but I’ll check back in a few hours for any late stragglers.

I caught Becomming Jane the other night on cable, so she be on me mind.
