Today, my friend Michele comes to visit! Woot! I'm excited.
==========================
Judy finished looking over "Return to Stiller Creek". She liked it (she really liked it! -- and, I have to wonder if Sally Field knew she'd go down in history for her stupid speech?), but found some inconsistencies... a clue that didn't get explained, and the such. So, I'm tidying up and then will write a synopsis.
I'm going to sub it to HQ American, though I'm not entirely certain it will fit -- IMHO, it's the line it best fits into. There is a definite sense of community, a decently strong secondary cast, etc. And the mystery is really second to the romance. There were times when I wrote and completely forgot there was even a mystery to be solved! LOL... I love to write romance. I kept getting caught up in that.
In any case, we'll see how it goes.
==========================
Picked fifteen more cucumbers yesterday. Four days ago, I made 20 pints of relish -- both sweet and dill. I made a HUGE cucumber and tomato salad (because we also have many, many tomatoes... though, I'm not complaining about those. I can eat those like apples four times a day and be happy as a pig in sh... um... a pig in sunshine!). I gave away half of the cucs to a neighbor yesterday. Still have four left and dozens maturing on the vine. **sigh** Why can't I have "too many" tomatoes or peas or beans or squash? I can freeze or can those and use them all winter.

You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time.
You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion.
You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and you have the confidence to see problems through.

At your worst, you can be cool, melancholy, and detached. You sometimes have to step back from emotionally charged situations.
You are at your happiest when you are able to reflect and relax.
Oh, good luck with the submission! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Enjoy your visit with your friend!
Also good luck with HQ American - hope you get a contract.
BTW, I tagged you but it can wait and is an easy one. Really, you just have to add a book to 3 lists and subtract one.
Congrats on Stiller's Creek! You beat me, after all. ;-) I'm still struggling with rewrites on the mystery.
Try some of the cucumbers in sour cream - they are soooooo good!
Congrats on finishing! You're inspiring me to keep going on Dreamer's Sea which has been taking way too long (the editing process, that is). I think it's way too long for any HQ line but I really like the sound of HQ American. Best of luck with them!
Good luck with HAR!!
My grandmother made bread and butter pickles with her cucumbers. Mmmm. Wish I lived closer - that salad sounds yummy.
Best of luck on the submissions.
I cannot wait until I have a garden and can grow cucumbers.
Have fun with Michele! Good luck with the revisions and finding a home for your submission.
I have too many tomato's. Any ideas? *G*
As for the quiz, same as Momjane. *G*
Have a great weekend!
Glad you had a chance to visit with another writing friend :) And that's good news about Stiller Creek! Fingers crossed for you...
