Can't believe I missed this, detroitgirl! Thank you!

A few months make a lot of difference in this business sometimes. In May I was still in revision hell. Now things are totally different.....

Icebergs move faster than traditional publishing! I'm in the same boat. You got this. Head down, pen up, go! As hard as it is, trust the process. I attended ThrillerFest this past August and an author on one of the panels said something that resonated with me, "The only way to take advantage of luck is to persevere." And there's a lot of luck involved in traditional publishing. Believe! Offer up your best manuscript and persevere. The luck will find you!

Thank you, JM! I'm happy to say perseverance did pay off for me. I got a book deal last month!

So if you're in the same boat with lots of edits -- yes, believe and keep at it!
