his morning, I mailed my first Golden Heart entry ever off. I spent way too much time on the synopsis, and I never would have been able to get even the final version–which I dubbed “doesn’t harm me”–right without numerous other people to help me out. Goodbye, Legalese!
Stupidly, I have decided to also enter my first novel, which means I am going to spend Thanksgiving frantically rewriting–when I’m not cooking. And writing another darned synopsis. Drat.
May all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! Travel safely, eat well, and–if, like me, you’re ramping up for the Golden Heart–revise like the wind!

I will be standing on-call for quick critiquing and hand-holding. Enjoy your yuzu and your man!

Good luck, Courtney, not that you’ll need it. You’re smart and talented, and you’re going to go far. I remember once or twice during our Fanlit period, after reading something you’d written, thinking, with all due jealousy, “Wow, I wish I had even half the talent that CM has!” Anyway, hope you had a wonderful holiday. All the best.

Congratulations on sending Legalese. I’m going to find me some yuzu and I know just the place to look. We’ve got a a huge Japanese grocery/department store in town.
Good luck revising book #1 and writing another synopsis. Let the power of the yuzu guide you.

Congrats, CM on sending out Legalese!
I’m on-call too if you need it for your other entry. Fingers crossed for all of us.

Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. I still have a ton of work to do, but I think I at least have the right shape of the pages.
And a synopsis! Yes. I have a synopsis. Which still needs a TON more work.
