My house went up for sale and my agent submitted my book to editors yesterday.

I have a sneaking suspicion that both need a bit more cleaning up....

Best of luck on both, Prawn!!

Have you ever watched any of those staging shows on HGTV? They clean out all the clutter and family photos and knickknacks and make it a home someone else can picture themselves in. And it looks bigger too.

I sure did! I don't have a pic of my book, but here's a pic of my living room:

Under your couch
My office is a similar green. The paint color was "Basil Bouquet".

Good luck on the submissions.

Good luck, you. I hope you find buyers for both. Thank God you don't have to be at the open house for your book, eh! My fingers are crossed for you.

Good luck with both!!

(I'm impressed with how clean your house looks. I could never put my house on the market unless I hid all our stuff in several storage pods.)

I see a 1/2 bath as something having a problem with leaks...I couldn't imagine the pains of transporting a house. I also wouldn't know who to ship it with. Fed Ex is way to bitchy and UPS loses things.
