Title: Prayers needed
Post by: Zara on November 06, 2006, 05:31:18 PM

... and fingers crossed. I have an appointment with a publisher Wednesday. He agreed to have a look at my MS in English. (Yes, you've got it, he is French) If it's very good he's willing to publish it. The problem is, I know it's not bad but VERY good ....
So I'll need your karma and everything I can find to get to this 'VERY' spot.
To be frank I'm scared s###less  :o

Okay Z... Can we uncross our fingers yet?
How'd it go?

Thousand thanks to all of you for your prayers.  :-* :-* Sorry for not keeping you posted, I didn't get to my computer yesterday. (Too tired from the week's tension - and fingers numb from being crossed ;) )
The meeting went well. The publisher took my MS and will come back to me .... in March. So, I guess you can uncross your fingers for now. I don't want to slow you down on your writting. ;D ;D He read my synopsis and didn't seem upset or disappointed, said the story was interesting and trendy. I'm back on working on my French MS to keep babyblues away and to have a reason to contact him in 2 or 3 months and have news from the other he's fiddling with.
I'm afraid to hope, too scared to even celebrate my baby leaving home. But hey like they say : Que sera sera
