Dear fellow scribes,
As some of you may know, my novel will finally be published by a major house. Furthermore, you may remember that my novel was rescued from the trash by a junior editor. When we spoke over the phone, I half-jokingly said to her, "I HAVE to take you to dinner." And she replied, "No, no..." and laughed.
Okay, I accept that. But I really want to do something nice for her. Would it be tacky to send flowers? Or should I just send a card? I want to show my appreciation somehow; but I don't want to turn her off, or make her think I'm a kooky stalker author.
(I also offered my agent dinner/chocolate and he laughingly declined. This is kinda' frustrating since he also saved me from self-publishing my novel.
Sigh.
Advice, anyone?
