She's much better! LOL. I haven't tried for NY yet, I'm very pleased with this route I've taken in epublishing. I will take the step to submit to NY publishers too.Angela's Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084171413220960852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1133969783982577262005-12-07T10:36:00.000-05:002005-12-07T10:36:00.000-05:00I'm not in NY.

Am I on the verge? I haven't a clue. The question is, how many are on the verge vs. how many actually "make it"? I'm sure there are lots and lots of writers like me. Agented. Award-winning. And still unpublished. I dunno, Kristen. I just take each day as it comes.<BR/><BR/>TanyaShesawriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14904247751806210823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1133962331463348502005-12-07T08:32:00.000-05:002005-12-07T08:32:00.000-05:00Excellent post.

I've only submitted to an editor once and I had to have serendipity slap me a good one to get in front of an agent. I've been very fortunate, I suppose, because it sure hasn't been my schmoozing skills that got me here! <BR/><BR/>That said, I do think that conferences and face-to-face meetings with people can only help a writer's career unless she's got the personality of a wolverine.Sela Carsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18410188636252030577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12073039.post-1133889566643053452005-12-06T12:19:00.000-05:002005-12-06T12:19:00.000-05:00you are on the verge because you are one of the mo...you are on the verge because you are one of the most talented women I have ever worked with.
