... may I do a minor happy dance?

(Cathy, feel free to delete this thread later today if you wish, but I wanted to share my news since I'm pretty excited)

Right after announcing that I needed a cookie in the First Time Author Sales thread, I checked my email and in my inbox was another request for a partial from an agent for my Blaze targeted story. Now, I know partials aren't too big a deal to many people, but for me I still get giddy and hop up and down and call Mama Sonarbabe to say, "Guess what??" This will make my third one and I'm really hoping one of the three will ask for a full.

Yeaaaayyyy!!! Cookies all around! That's excellent news. Fingers crossed that the agent loves it!

I posted it, Cathy! Again, thank you so much for not thinking me a bit silly for getting so excited over a partial, but I'm sure you've all had those moments where after sooooooo many rejections even the tiniest of nibbles makes you want to turn cartwheels. Or in my case, a grown woman calling her mother and saying, "Mama! Guess what? Remember that agent who turned me down twice before? Yeah! He wants to read my stuff now!"

*sadly, that's exactly what I said to her too.* lol

Congratulations. I know it must feel great. And, you know what, I would be calling my momma to tell her too.

Well, it took a little digging to find this thread, but since it pertains to this actual story, I figured I should dredge it up.

I decided to shop my story to Samhain and yesterday they asked to see the full. First time in my LIFE a publisher has ever asked that. (Shoot, this was the first time I ever submitted to a publisher) So, I just wanted to share my news and do a ten second happy dance.

Carry on. :D

I just got an email back from Samhain and they've decided to accept my story and would like to add it to their 2008 schedule. Woo-hoo! My first acceptance!
