I'm back!

[annathepiper]

Real fast one now that I'm back from Writer's Weekend--since I'm about to head out to food and a movie in honor of mamishka's birthday. But just for the sake of getting this big fun news out of the conference out to you all:

I have finished Lament of the Dove AT LAST! And, and, AND, Anne Groell, editor at Bantam, wants to see partials from me on both Faerie Blood and Lament!

Wish me luck, folks!

*hugs!* Thank you very much! Here's to good fortune, rock-solid proofreading, and some partials that hopefully will knock editorial socks off. :D

[annathepiper]

I've been going around all day with a low-level EEEEEEEE going on in my brain, let me tell ya. :D All that's keeping me from actually physically running around going EEEEEEEE is that my forebrain is demanding I try to get the synopsis for Lament down to four pages! ;)

Very much much indeed! If you get it published, we'll be sure to buy!

[annathepiper]

Thank you! Here's hoping with great and passionate hope! :) :)

Wonderful!! Best of luck to you, lass! Keep us posted.

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much! One way or another, I will be relaying more news when it happens! ^_^

I have finished Lament of the Dove AT LAST! And, and, AND, Anne Groell, editor at Bantam, wants to see partials from me on both Faerie Blood and Lament!

YAY!!!! Congrats :)

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much! :)

[shikyrie.livejournal.com]

You do know that when it's published, I'm going to want a personally signed copy. (of course, I will pay for it)

[annathepiper]

I'll keep that in mind for if I actually sell something! :)

[gerimaple.livejournal.com]

a triple dose of WAHOO!!!!!

[annathepiper]

And woot! And whee! And whoopee! And other ejaculations that begin with W! :) :)

[cafiorello.livejournal.com]

Woo-hoo! Go Anna!

[annathepiper]

Thank you thank you! :) :)

[kieri.livejournal.com]

YAY! What excellent news!

So glad to hear it! (And pass on a happy birthday to Mimi from me!) :)

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much, and I will! :) :)

Go you! Go [Bad username or site: mamishka! @ livejournal.com]

[annathepiper]

Thank you! :) :)

[starfallz.livejournal.com]

Holy crapzors.... good luck!!!

[annathepiper]

Thank you! *gulp* I just went and looked at my bookshelf. Bantam is not as heavily represented on my shelves as are Tor, Daw, Baen, and Ace, but they've got a presence--and oh my, the presence they have.

George R. R. Martin. And Connie Willis. MULTI-HUGO-AWARD-WINNING CONNIE WILLIS.

I better not think too heavily about this, lest my head explode!

[annathepiper]

In-DEED! :D Now to actually get the partials together and sent!

[rosepurr.livejournal.com]

Good luck!!

[annathepiper]

Thank you! :)

[tvaddictgurl.livejournal.com]

Good Luck! It was great to get a chance to meet you at WW.

[annathepiper]

Thank you, and likewise! :D

[howlinhobbit.livejournal.com]

You do understand that when it hits the shelves we'll have to meet up in person. So you can autograph my copy.

HH

[annathepiper]

*giggle* Given that I ought to be worrying about signing things if and only if I actually sell something (sending partials off to Bantam is fabulous, but they COULD still say no), surely we could come up with a reason to meet before that? ;)

[chrysoula.livejournal.com]

May all your partials become fulls! I'm looking forward to reading your writeup when you get it posted.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! I'll try to get that done in the next day or two. :) My brain is very, very full!
