Actually, it’s a bit crappy, if you want to know the truth. Cold and drizzly. But I haven’t been so excited to start a day in a long time. I woke up before my alarm this morning.
First of all, I’m waiting to hear back from my agent about whether or not I can post some fabulous news. News that made me shout and pump my fist in the air in the middle of a public coffee shop yesterday. Yeah, that kind of good.
Updated to add: I sold my book in Portugal! Party in Lisbon, everyone. I shall be released in trade paperback through Aletheia publishers. Special thanks to my foreign rights agent, Whitney Lee of the Fielding Agency.
Secondly, I was a badass writing machine yesterday. Perhaps it was due to the workshop I attended last weekend with April Kihlstrom on writing a book in a week. Perhaps it was due to an alignment of the stars. All I know is, there were 36 more pages in my document last night than there were yesterday morning. Good pages. Hoo-yeah.

C, I’m about to plunge into the final round of edits for Under the Rose, and I’m so excited.
4: Check out this recent sale from Pub Marketplace:
| Foreign rights: Fiction |
Budge Wilson’s authorized prequel to Anne of Green Gables, BEFORE GREEN GABLES, the story of Anne’s early life in foster homes and an orphanage in Nova Scotia, to Helen Reeves at Penguin Canada, for publication in 2008. |
The big question, of course, is if that’s coming out in the U.S., too. And is it authorized by the estate of Montgomery? How cool! Come on, Penguin CA, more details, please. Inquiring fangirl minds and all that!!!!
