What the editor said

So I emailed Richard and asked him what grade he would give me in his creative writing class. He wrote back: "I would give you an 'A'." And he asked me if I knew what it took to write a book and have an almost finished story. "You should be patting yourself on the back every five minutes."

My heart jumped up and down. A tear of joy mixed with a wee bit of pride rolled down my cheek. I suspect he is a tough teacher and he liked my stuff. So now I will begin writing the edits which will make my story/book focused and complete. Then the search begins for an agent and or a publisher. Amen.
