Funny, I always thought I'd celebrate the day I got published. Then I decided to launch my novel on a blog, and an author friend hosted a celebration. Launching it as a blog was a sort of celebration, I suppose. But that I didn't think of it that way... Until now.

After six years, though, there have been too many THE ENDs without a 'got an agent'. I wish I felt the same thrill but now I just forge into the next stage without any fanfare. Enjoy yourself and have a brownie sundae on me. =o)B.E.
