just received notice that my badly titled manuscript, better known as Legalese, finaled in the Golden Network’s Golden Pen contest.
More importantly, I got some great feedback that will help me get the manuscript ready for the mother of all contests, the Golden Heart.
This has really been a week of great news–feel free to share yours, too! The more, the merrier!

I’m telling you, I called it! You called Tessa… Well, I’m calling you to be next

Thanks, Lacey.
I’ll just be happy when I can finally go out and pitch.
You wouldn’t believe how jealous I am of people piling up the rejections.

Hurrah! Many congrats - this has been an amazing week. Hmm - Golden Gateway, Golden Pen… am I sensing a pattern here? I think so!

Congratulations, CM!! I have to agree with Lindsey. Sounds like your “badly titled” manuscript has the “Golden” touch! I had to laugh when you said you were jealous of people’s rejection notices!! Actually, I am a little jealous myself.

Congratulations, Courtney.

Congrats CM! That’s fabulous news!
October 16th, 2007 at 5:41 pm
Yay, Courtney. I, too, am unsurprised and expect great things from you in the final round.
This has been a good and busy week in Romancelandia. Sales and finals abound.

Wahoo! Wahoo! I can’t wait for you to be out there pitching. I think you’d look lovely with a little gold heart around your neck!
October 17th, 2007 at 3:50 am
Congratulations!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:50 am
Congratulations again! But, of course, it’s no surprise. Can’t wait to see your name with the Golden Heart finalists!
October 17th, 2007 at 7:55 am
Congratulations!
October 17th, 2007 at 1:25 pm
Congrats CM! Very exciting news! Not surprising given your talent, but contest finals are such a bonus. Hope to see you (and, uh, me!) in the GH finals!
October 17th, 2007 at 2:33 pm
Thanks, everyone, for the congratulations.
October 17th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
Congratulations, and good luck in the GH!
October 18th, 2007 at 5:12 am
Congratulations, CM!! I can’t wait to see your full picture on the back of a book jacket.I’m sure you’re publisher won’t accept a hand like we did at Avon!!

Thanks, Lynne and Skirbo! I promise you, if I ever publish there will be a full picture–I’ll even post one on the web before the book comes out!
Are either of you entering the GH?
October 18th, 2007 at 9:04 am
Congrats! What awesome news! Thank God you’re not writing regency and I won’t have to compete against you in the GH!
October 18th, 2007 at 9:24 am
Thanks, Sara! I know you’re going to clean up in the GH like the rock star you are–unless you sell your manuscript first, which is a DISTINCT possibility.
October 18th, 2007 at 8:38 pm
Congrats again, CM! This is fantastic news!
October 19th, 2007 at 12:43 pm
Congrats!!! Job entirely well done!!! Can’t wait to hear how all the pitching goes when you get to do that.
October 19th, 2007 at 5:22 pm
Nope, no GH for me.
October 21st, 2007 at 1:49 am
Oops, I’m late. Huge belated congratulations from me!! That is so exciting. I’m with Skirbo–can’t wait to see your portrait in the back of a book instead of the mysterious FanLit hand.
October 26th, 2007 at 5:49 pm
CONGRATULATIONS! (A bit late)….
