Well, I didn't end up making that Ginger-Mint Chicken Stir-fry after all.

This afternoon, my agent forwarded a long and detailed e-mail from a publisher where the associate editor liked my book manuscript (which started as a NaNoWriMo novel) enough to pass it up the chain to the head of the imprint, whose name evokes my fangirl sigh because of books he's edited that I've adored.

Well, apparently they both like my book enough that the associate editor is interested in working with me on revisions.

A Good E-mail Day

Again, it's not an acceptance, but it's a big step closer; Jeff and I went to Fukui to celebrate with sushi. :-)

I am very, VERY excited at the idea of working with this particular editor and this particular publisher. Not surprisingly, the project is going to the top of my priority list. My Blatherings may be somewhat sporadic over the next while, as might any non-urgent projects.

I SO want this.

Wish me luck.

Speaking of NaNoWriMo novels, Will Write For Chocolate has been updated. I've reformatted it for possible use on the NaNoWriMo site, so I'm posting this version below because the text is easier to read.
