*squee again*

One of the agents with Agatha sent me an email today to say she's enjoying it so far and will get back to me by the end of the week.

"A wonderfully charming voice," she says...

I don't know whether to eat all the Halloween candy or wet my pants...

Oooh, the poor kinders are going to be wondering why their teacher keeps checking her email at work!

Congrats Judy, what fabulous feedback. And completely true, too!

(P.S. - I'd go with eating the candy.)

Oh, both, surely... live a little... :D

How nice of her to email you with an update!

How wonderful, Judy! YAY!!

If it were me, I would prefer to eat the halloween candy, which I'm doing anyway. But I'd probably end up with the wet panties.

I'm trying so hard not to check the email obsessively.

But it's so tempting...

I don't check in here nearly enough. I'm missing all the excitement.

Good luck, Judy. I hope you hear soon while you still have some nails left.

I know I posted in the bouncy castle, but I have to do it here, too. I'm OC, after all.

Anyway, I signed and returned my contract with Musa Publishing today.

Now I have to go eat some more peanut butter cups.

I would also like to celebrate the fact that I have now lost 10 pounds, thanks to Weightwatchers. Nice, skinny, 3-point slices of carrot cake for everyone!

Congrats to everyone on new contracts and new smaller pants!

I'll add some Pink Marshmallow Power party hats to the festivities. I've written 5k this month on a new MG fantasy (up from 0 the previous months) and lost 16 pounds on a new meal plan and with bicycle commuting to work. Just 40 miles a week but it's making a difference--just made a big bag of big clothes to donate to the goodwill.

Good grief. You guys are making me feel like such a cow. I recently had a battle with a skirt that wouldn't zip. Maybe the zipper's just defective? :rolleyes:

Congrats to everyone on the writing successes and the weight loss. :snoopy:

Now pass the brownies this way. :D

well, i'll add to the celebration - i just finished my first pass through a requested revision. a bit more polishing and i'll be sending it off!

i also recently lost some weight, but it wasn't intentional, and i'm kind of irritated b/c i had finally found jeans that fit and now they don't. but i digress.

cheers to all for all their good news! (and cheers to all who don't have good news yet - it's coming!!!)

Keep it coming, people!

All this good news is just making me want to bounce all the time. But, unfortunately, I found all the pounds and stones you all lost, and it's making me lazy.

Seriously, this is not a good time to be gaining - with the holidays coming up. I have to start moving more than my fingers.

I forgot Americans do pounds not stones. There are 14 pounds to 1 stone. And I've lost six and a half stone, which equals, err, erm, some pounds. Ran out of fingers to count :D

He is? Where?

Mine wasn't either, but there's always a silver lining to everything, you just have to look at stuff at a different angle. :)

Congrats Sissybaby and good luck Judy. Haven't lost any weight, but at almost 12 weeks pregnant for twins the fact that I haven't gained anything yet is good too! I'm so jealous about all the writing getting done. I'm so sick lately I can't work on revisions or start my new WIP. Only another 2 more months of morning (I mean all day) sickness to go!
