Congratulations, Miss P.<BR/><BR/>Just got back from the VFH (Vacation from Hell as Paul and I are fondly referring to it.) Ear infection escalated, had a severe reaction to the antibiotic, got pink eye and coming home to Goleta on fire. Your news was a bright spot!<BR/><BR/>MaggieMaggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516515730638489037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048985128503615518.post-60118417837750213812008-07-03T16:25:00.000-07:002008-07-03T16:25:00.000-07:00That is great news!That is great news!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048985128503615518.post-69617156025048176932008-07-02T09:48:00.000-07:002008-07-02T09:48:00.000-07:00Hi Anne!

I've seen Jean over the years, heard of you through other writer's but nothing on the guy in our group. Can't remember his name...<BR/>Anyway, it is great to be back in touch.<BR/>Thanks for visiting and offering your encouraging words.Patty Palmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085225715086624172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048985128503615518.post-84011717553196533352008-07-02T07:35:00.000-07:002008-07-02T07:35:00.000-07:00It's good to reconnect with you through Tina's blo...It's good to reconnect with you through Tina's blog, Patty, and to read this post was tremendous. To realize on your own the need to "Rewrite the whole bloody thing!" Luckily, you can do it and have an editor who wants you to. This sounds like wonderful progress to me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048985128503615518.post-77767019925930878982008-07-01T17:08:00.000-07:002008-07-01T17:08:00.000-07:00Angela: Always great to see your name.

I just need to get it better.<BR/><BR/>Laura: Funny how we were just talking about this. It is nice to get an encouraging rejection letter but more importantly, I know I can do better.<BR/><BR/>Kelly: Thanks for your support.

That's such validation and at a point when you really needed it too. A little message from above telling you that you are on the right track. Yes, when I read the post I have to say I was amazed that you are going to go through once more and edit the story. But guess what? I will be better. And the editorial notes you've gotten are golden. I'm so excited for you. Like you said we are getting farther aren't we? And like you said, it's important that the story is all that it can be. And if you see where you still need to go then chart that course. I can't think of a better place to get clearer on your story than PEI. Can you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048985128503615518.post-3135333369912683152008-07-01T15:36:00.000-07:002008-07-01T15:36:00.000-07:00Patty - that is such a great letter to receive, an...Patty - that is such a great letter to receive, and like you said, very timely.

The value of critiquing other writer's work can never be underestimated.
