No, not a sale. If you've been following me, you know I don't have anything out there. Well, I do, but it's a long shot - just a story at Woman's World.

Anyway.

The happy happy comes from having FINALLY gotten my Jenn fix on Sunday. After coffee and bagels, I came clean on my current story and we batted ideas around and she gave me SEVERAL gems - words of wisdom - which I WILL NOT SHARE because I'm too, too selfish. So there.

Okay, maybe later. But those of you who write probably already know them.

The joy joy comes from much writing taking place today (with youngest son off - GASP - in a tiny airplane to Santa Barbara with a friend of his - causing his parents much anxiety until he showed his cute face back home - and eldest son doing homework), which is a GOOD THING. I finished re-writing the dreck that had gone before, laid some groundwork for the end of the book, and though I tossed several pages, it will be smooth sailing the next time I continue to write (which probably won't be tomorrow as I work).

HOW I needed that feedback, that support, from Jenn. My hubby pointed out, rightly so, that it was my fault I wasn't getting it.

Da-amn! So we're gonna schedule time together more often, even if it does interfere with family life. Writing is important, damn it! And NO ONE will ever replace Jenn in my life. There may come along someone different, who helps in a different way, but no one will believe in me as utterly as she does/did way back when. (Except for hubby, but he - kinda - doesn't count. Okay, he counts, but in a different way.)

So. Writing, good. Life, good. And with the 26th anniversary coming up, and the 46th birthday just passed, it's ALL good.
