I'd like to return the favour and offer Anna my most sincere congratulations on finding a publisher. She hasn't told the whole story yet, so I don't know who is the publisher or when the expected release date is, but I expect she will soon. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
I am so incredibly happy for her! Hopefully we'll be celebrating together soon, when I announce that I've found my publisher... hopefully.
I have been desensitised to rejection. Well, I don't get upset over individual rejections, but the pile of them does get to me some. I can't imagine how I might react if ever someone agreed to publish me. There would be champagne involved, I'm sure.
So, again:
CONGRATULATIONS ANNA!
Oh, and the Forgotten English word of the day isn't a word, but a phrase:
Bag of nails: American thieves' cant. Confusion; topsy-turveydom. From "bacchanals."
- John Farmer's Slang and Its Analogues, 1890

"topsy-turveydom" lol
and massive congrats to your friend!
Topsy-turveydom ought to have its own place in the Forgotten English calendar!
I'll pass on your good will. She's very excited.
This is really sweet S.M. thanks. I can't remember where we initially connected either. CC Chronicles??? Anyway, I think I found Bruce (my publisher) on 'http://writingwhilethericeboils.blogspot.com/' (I think). At any rate, it's a good place to follow cause she does an 'agent Friday' thing, among many other wonderful things.
Anyway, I've been in contact with the editor and as soon as I can mail out a check, step one will begin. Yep, still grinning.
Happy Dance
Drink a glass of champagne for me.
Brilliant, Anna! Thanks. I'll check out the blog.
I shall buy champagne next pay and raise a glass to you.
