Yep. Of course, it's an Ehrenreich reprint, but go team lefty cred. They owe me some copies, though.
I got stupid. The money was too good.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Go, erika!
And AmyLiz, yes, I can't think of any actual concrete examples right now, but I have experienced what you mentioned. It's wonderful when that happens.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You fucking RULE, woman!
I still think you should query magazines like BUST and Bitch and maybe Ms., because the topic of owning your body is so salient to all women, and your perspective on it is just beautiful.

Because books.
Clapping wildly for erika...
Bravo!

Seconding Teppy, erika. See me nodding wildly?

Yeah, I think I should too. I got a million of 'em, as far as that goes. You know what I forgot? A bio. That was dumb, huh?

Okay--see there, what happened there? I was going to post "See me nodding madly?" and had just read AmyLiz's "clapping wildly..." And what I read went down on the page.
It's how I'll fasten on a "word of the day" when I'm writing. I go back later and find the same word five or six times in three or four pages...that's how I can tell all those pages were written in the same session.

The status is NOT quo.
Woot Erika!!!
Also, Amy and Deb, I'm sorry if I came across sounding defensive. I was mostly joking and didn't convey it well.
I will look for betas eventually, but that's a long way off, I think! Hard to beta just the very first few chapters of a book. I'm more at the "tell me it's pretty!" phase right now. ;-)
Thanks..I will definitely take Astarte and others up on the offer later.

Yay, erika!
Thirding Teppy's suggestion.

Yeah...I'll do it. I shouldn't have any problems...we didn't even sign a contract, but I'll ask as a courtesy. But I should get right on it, cause I've got what the politicians call "mo" now. But, of course, for me, "mo" is Just Jack, but...um...this is that stream of consciousness thing my friend gets so confused by, isn't it? I'll also get some subscription figures that I can use to...bullshit, um I mean sell myself, in the query process.
