OK, so this blog is not at all about cliff jumping, but I do feel as if I just took a flying leap off a daunting precipice and have no bungee cord or parachute. I decided I wanted to send something off to the interested editor while it was still fresh in his mind that he had spoken with his published author about my work. I mean really, he has a life, a family, a job, and is a working author himself. My friend seemed so excited about my novel (and she only read a small section) that I feel certain some of her excitement bled over into the conversation she had with her editor. I wanted to strike while the iron was hot.
So I decided to send the section I used as my application to AWW. I simply typed an email, attached the manuscript, and hit send. WHOOSH! EEEEeeeeeeeek! As if I didn't already feel like I was spinning through an open expanse of space with no restraint, that flight has suddenly adopted a spinning track that leaves me woozy and seasick. I feel as if I've never done anything this real in my life.
I am a big believer in serendipity. I believe it works hand in hand with karma and fate. These beliefs also go along with what I'm trying to accomplish in my novel. Happy accidents are not just for the canvas Bob Ross!
