I am mailing one of the children's picture books I've written to Boyds Mills Press today.
Scary.
Thrilling.
Hand-wringing.
Laughable.
Believable.
BMP says it takes three months to get back to potential writers. That looks like mid-to-end of November.
Inside the Self-Addressed-Stamp-Enclosed envelope they send your manuscript back in if your story bombs, I put a sticky-note with my favorite quote and life-guide, "It is never too late to be what you might have been." (George Elliot) G.E. inspired me to go back to college, to get re-married, to adopt. His words fit many commencing moments in my life.
Today, I am leaping!
