The amazing news is: After reading the first 50 pages of Twenty-Somewhere, St. Martin’s Press has asked me to submit the full manuscript for their consideration.
(AAAAAEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHOOOOOOO!)
The bad news is: No real blog today, because I am mad scrambling to go over my full and make sure it’s good to submit. Sorry! Also, my new work-in-progress will have to be put on hold for a day or two. Oh well.
Thanks to everyone for the congratulations, and hi to any new readers coming over from #YALitChat!

CONGRATS, GRANDMA!!!!!!!! ;)
Thanks, y’all! I still kind of have that “Okay, where’s Ashton Kutcher?” feeling. This has to be a PUNK’D, right? (Only I’m not cool enough to get PUNK’D for real…)
That’s so awesome!!! WAY TO GO!
Also, I just realized you’re from Cincinnati like myself, so it’s even more awesome!!!!

Congratulations, good luck with everything!
Thank you thank you thank you, guys!
And Lindsey, I’m IN Cincy, but not FROM Cincy. Just a point of clarification, but it’s still super cool that we’re both here! (If in fact you are still here…) The weather right now? Not so super cool. :P
Also, not to sound self-deprecating (more like, realistic), but this could still amount to nothing, lol. It could just be one extra step to rejection. I’m trying to prepare myself for that, so I thought I should prepare y’all too. (Especially since my request came with a note that said they were worried 20SW might be too episodic. Which makes sense, since it’s written in episodes…)
Congrats! It should be a good learning experience if nothing else. And you should be really proud. Very few make it to this point. Way to go!
Thanks, Sonja! My thoughts exactly. :)
Hooray! Can I preorder the book yet? :)

OMG OMG…. So exciting! I’m so proud of you!!! On your nationwide book tour I’m cutting to the head of the line to get my copy signed. :-) Best of luck and keep on writing.
.-= • Recent post by RenaissanceTrophyWife: And the madness begins =-.
Hahaha, thanks. We’ll see about that tour… but I’d definitely let you cut the line. ;)
Huge congratulations! That’s so exciting!
.-= • Recent post by That Kind of Girl: TKOG Who follows through (and subsequently goes on the worst date in the history of friggin’ ever) =-.
Congratulations! I personally love reading this series because it’s fun and I definitely identify with the whole transitioning into adulthood (I still don’t feel like an adult!) and creating new lives post-college/grad school.
I’m so proud of you! :)
Wooot Woot!
WHAT!?! Totally new here but this sounds AWESOME. I’m crossing fingers, toes, eyes, dressing…. you know. All the most important of crossables. <3
Thanks, y’all! And hi to Brittney and TKOG!
