Nothing interesting showed up in today's mail--so it's official. I have made it to the three-month mark with no rejection letter. Now to make it to my birthday--and then the four-month mark a few more weeks after that! I figure if that I can get that far then I will begin to feel as though I've at least gotten out of the gate, even if other horses are outrunning me.

My goal for the beginning of this year: get a few more months' waiting time in, and then I can join [livejournal.com profile] mizkit and [livejournal.com profile] shadowhwk in lamenting that Tor hasn't gotten back to us yet! (But just as long as I can finish the third draft before they do, I'm good!)

Also, I must add that I feel quite virtuous, as I got on the treadmill tonight for the first time in Too Damned Long. This is what happens when Kit's posts about her own successes in that area start inspiring me along with her writing posts. ;) (Hey Kit! If I get published, maybe I should buy us both either incredibly healthy dinners or else sloppy, gooey, delicious chocolate sundaes. You'll have to let me know what you prefer!)

::snort:: :) One of the trainers at work just celebrated his birthday last week, and he's quite a bit older than me (probably close to 60) and I asked him the same question, and he didn't know quite what I meant until I asked him if he was old enough to go to the bars yet... he got a good laugh out of it...

I know what you meant. I told you how old I was already, remember? :) I've been 'legal' for nearly 15 years now.

Not that I want to go to a bar unless Great Big Sea or 30 Odd Foot of Grunts are performing in it, but hey. :)


Lol.. .I knew that... remember, it was about 13-14 yrs ago (since approx ED#350 or thereabouts...) I even remember the message [livejournal.com profile] solarbird posted on the SFLD that got me to check the digest out... ::sighs:: those were the good old days of BBSes and usenet... what's even funny, I was perusing google the other day, and came across something that I had posted somewhere under D546640S@edinboro.edu... heh... I haven't had that username since early '92...

btw, speaking of GBS, I see you still haven't perused my LJ close enough lately ;)
