Ready to Go

My new professional website is officially up. Once a month I'll post updates there. If you know people who require editing or certain writing services, I hope you'll consider referring me.

I had a lovely birthday in my new town. My husband woke me up with a bag of great gifts and a beautiful card (but no "delicious bass" alas). My only friend here in town, Laura, took me to lunch and brought me gifts and that was really, really kind and above the call of new friendship. Assorted friends called or emailed. My cousin Patricia's package arrived from Uruguay on my birthday. Then E. and I went out for pie--I had apple with ice cream, he had chocolate cream. And after I thought my birthday was pretty much over, one of the best gifts of all came by email from my agent, telling me I'd done a great job on my novel revision and that we're ready to go. Ready. To. Go.

Some of you out there know what that means. I'm afraid to write about it at the moment. I need to go drum up some really good energy first.

But now I must go back to work today. I've got a book to finish writing.
