My only excuse is I was writing away from the net and it completely slipped my overtaxed mind!
Your Ode earned the most votes!!

Hi!!! I know that we are supposed to writing babies in books – but I would rather write about Books As Babies – and MINE CAME TODAY JJJJJ
My author copies are sitting next to me like infants in a brown cardboard bassinet, lol. I’ve fondled them, caressed them, showered them with love – and I keep pinching myself because I can’t believe it’s real!
My name is on the cover. My words are between the covers. Yes, even the font is beautiful. I’ve been working towards this goal of being in print since 1995…I’d always wanted to be a writer, but it wasn’t clear until I started taking a creative writing class that the dream could be specific. I could write a book.
As many of you know, this has been such a strange road – plenty of curves and lots of hills and valleys. But this moment, right NOW, makes it all worth while.
Hang on while I kiss the cover one more time…lolol.
I am thrilled, ecstatic, overjoyed. That doesn’t even come close to what it really feels like to finally hold my baby in my hands.
Yeah!!!!!! My hubby is better than any knight in shining armor – he rode his convertible home, bearing roses and champagne to celebrate, within a half hour of me calling with the news. We are celebrating – celebrating the journey. Celebrating the BOOK. Celebrating a dream come true J
I’m including a really bad picture that totally captures my happy self – the books were dropped off when I was in the shower, but I didn’t want to ever forget the moment – and why not share it with you??? LOL
As usual, I can't get the picture on
I'll try later!
