Yesterday my children, husband and I kissed my first manuscript goodbye (and good luck) before I mailed it to an editor. I sent it with a little bit of excitement and a little bit of apprehension as I prepare for the response. Based on information I've received, chances are slim that it'll be accepted right away. People have told story after story of how many hundreds of rejection letters they received before their manuscript was finally accepted.
I'm hoping for a miracle. I'm not really very fond of rejection.
However, I did purchase a 3-ring binder so that I can save all of my manuscripts (from original to critique group comments, to submitted), rejection letters and future acceptance letters.
My next goal is to organize my workspace so that I continue to feel like a writer.
What a journey I'm on...

Have you in previous blogs discussed the topic of your newly mailed manuscript? Also, what about posting your thoughts shared at Papa's memorial service? Others might want to read them.
Thanks, Zuneamama...
No, I haven't discussed that topic before.
Thanks, also, for the idea on posting my "words of remembrance".
I'll get right on that.
Love you.
