The English Major in me couldn’t help…

Hal on Jun 26th 2008

:-D

The English Major in me couldn’t help but groan and then laugh at this posting title I saw today while clicking through the want ads:

Three Year Old teacher Needed

Perhaps the class will be on discovering your inner child for forty and fifty somethings

Or on how to color outside the lines and use any surface for your canvas

Or how the loudest scream gets the most attention.

LOL I want to sit in on that class.

Waiting can be a seesaw.

Hal on Jun 24th 2008

I’ve not heard anything since my last post on what the fiction editor who is currently reviewing my novel thinks of the manuscript.

And that’s okay. Such things move slowly. I know this.

But that’s doesn’t make waiting any easier :-)

But that is the way of we humans, isn’t it.

At times I’m okay with waiting to hear anything. In the best of those times I could wait years. But then the seesaw of the human psyche changes and I itch with a need to know something.

Of course it doesn’t help that I am also waiting to hear on several chapters I sent to another editor on my current work in progress, a non-fiction book idea.

So when the seesaw tips it would seem I just can’t win ;-)

So the best thing to do is get off the seesaw and do some work and leave it all in God’s more than ample hands.

Update on ‘Sins of Our Fathers’ journey.

Hal on Jun 4th 2008

Well, I’ve got some good news on the path of getting my novel, “Sins of Our Fathers,” to publication.

News came at the first of the week from an editor to whom I sent the complete manuscript. It made it through the inital review for publication! :-)

Now it’s headed for the fiction editor and an in-depth evaluation.

Woo-whoo! :-D
