I haven't been very active lately around the cooler. I'm trying very hard to stay focused on the final edit of my first novel. My goal is to have it ready to submit to agents by the end of this year.

So far, so good--I have been staying on task. But, it doesn't hurt to get a bit of outside validation to keep me motivated, and today I got a BIG dose of motivation . . .

I won second place

J, that's wonderful news. Although I've missed you around here and you were my cafe' crowd pleaser, I am very happy for you. I admire your determination and drive. Congratulations on your 1st chapter win. It all means you must be on to something.
Here's :Hug2:'s and lots of love.

You rock! I can't wait to be ordering that book from Amazon. Nah, I'll ask my local bookstore to order it for me.

Okay, okay, I'll wait till you finish it. But I just know it's gonna be so GREAT!
