I GOT OFFERED A CONTRACT FOR THE BOOK OF HELEN! I know I could wait until tomorrow but I'm about to explode with happiness and had to share. Museitup publishing is the company. I'm printing up the contract so I can read it. Still just pinching myself. Going to get a diet coke, a piece of chocolate and call my mom.

Given Sherry's awesome news, I'm bending the rules this week to give her first report.

Eeeeek! Sherry, that's so exciting!!! Yay yay yay for you! :D :D :D

...aaaand in other news, this week would be perfect if it weren't for stupid red taped bureaucratic financial aid didn't tell me all the freaking forms I needed filled out and... grumble. I just need my freaking textbooks, which I can't get until that's sorted out, nor can I get a job because apparently I don't have work-study until my aid is approved, and yesterday I found out they need yet *more* paperwork. GAH.

But, I've actually gotten to write an actual lot! I'm super excited. 1,683 words this week!! Actually, kind of a lot considering the kind of week I've had... also, meds are working! Including the new stuff I'm taking for anxiety, which has been such a blessing. I made four, count 'em, four phone calls this week without being even the slightest bit nervous about it! And many other things that have been the direct result of the meds helping me actually be able to control my anxiety. Now, if only the *grumblegrumble* financial aid would go through, I'd be set for the semester...

I remember this one from years ago--watching and waiting. I knew this one would sell. I remember the research that you did on this book.

Happy day for you! Finally.

Okay...this week, I calmed down --a bit. I blogged. I also started work on another project 4 book plan, Time University,(Still sketching the outline parameters) and wrote another K on The Book of Penelope. So 1,291 words on that project.

Thanks to everyone for the congratulations. I'm still overwhelmed. It was fun to be able to say, even my teenager is proud.

Now I have to get to the work of editing for real, with the projected first day --the last of May in 2013. Hard to believe.

8000 words, and another Nano win for me! Maybe 5k left to finish story. Also about 500 on Tomok, which I am rarring to get rewriting. Really proud of this week's writing because I did it despite zombification due to babysitting.
