I appreciate your faith in my work. As for that call? May your words go straight from your mouth to God's ear and let action, positive action, be the result. Like I've said before, though, I'm in the best of hands with Deidre Knight and I know she's going to help me get there. Hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Yes, it is hard. And wonderful. I love it and hate it every day--but the love wins out. AND "Never give up. Never surrender." is my personal motto! I know you're going to get that call any day, and we will all be celebrating with you! *hugs* What a great post, Denise! Yes, it is hard. And wonderful.

I would have to revive you as it may be a while before we've got tons of happy news to share. :) But do stick close and share your Starbucks table. We can chat...er...work together while we wait. And you're absolutely right that the author's well of emotion is full of more than just hope. On any given day, a different emotion surges to the surface to be retrieved. I know, for me, despair has been frequent of late. But that all changed last night. I am rising, reborn, and asking myself just what exactly it is I'm capable of. I'll either live what I preach or fail, and I *hate* to fail. So I'll pull myself up and focus on hope and forward momentum and the strength of those around me--friends, amazing critique partners, mega-agent of awesomeness, and more.

Hope remains there, I think, in some form or other...the question becomes whether the author wants to dig through the muck that is fear and self-loathing to find the hope. Ultimately though, I think hope is imperative to the success of a book. Perhaps, as authors, we need to devise a bucket for our well that is made from pure hope. That way we can always find it and can more easily ignore the muck that tries to stain it. Holding my breath to await your happy news. Okay, okay, I'm not really holding my breath because I gather that you would be extremely disheartened if, in waiting, I passed out from lack of oxygen and crashed into the Starbucks table headfirst, spilling my Venti Mocha Frapp all over my laptop and shorting it out so that my novel was lost to the electric spasms suffered as a result.
