Yea...YAY to last year's losers-gone-good, hehe. Yeah, I tried really hard to believe I was ready last year, but I wasn't. Now I think the ms is about as good as it gets unless I don't look at it again, pitch the entire thing, and start over with the same idea, but a whole new ms. And I'm not doing that, so it's as good as it's getting. Here's hoping it's good enough!!<br /><br />Thanks for the shout-out, Hart - my son's b-day is over, the relatives are gone, and I can FINALLY catch up on blogs and writing (7 hours before bedtime, let's hope at least a little writing!). Good luck to all of us (and I haven't looked at the GF file yet, yay for Barbara!).<br />ericaerica and christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13074820593371226159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-84746052570527252732011-02-27T02:54:58.372-05:002011-02-27T02:54:58.372-05:00I was so pleased with the general 'family'...I was so pleased with the general 'family' atmosphere in the ABNA threads, especially as a Newbie to the ABNA process/experience.
