I cannot tell you how much it means to me. <br /><br />Kathryn: You are so right. I'd envisioned it as an older novel, but Scholastic had envisioned it as straight MG and very *tame*. Our *visions* collided! :-)<br /><br />Brian: Aww, Brian, you have a way with words that always make me feel like super woman. Thank you for that sweet message. <br /><br />Jemi: Thanks so much for the kudos! <br /><br />Christine: So glad the reality helped you (been livin' too much reality lately) - and just saw your linky love and mention on your blog - THANKS SO MUCH! <br /><br />Josh: Will check you out . . . <br /><br />Shelley: Thanks, dear! Yeah, I decided that I needed to quit being shy and help other writers know what can happen in the real world of publishing. Hope I didn't scare anyone off! I'm still extremely thrilled and excited to be with my Gorgeous Editor and Scholastic. <br /><br />Sherrie: KNOTS is the perfect way to describe my last three months! You're welcome - and thank YOU for the kudos! <br /><br />Love and Hugs everyone!Kimberley Griffiths Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269829969442171522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16694337.post-63835818114246119902010-08-20T13:52:05.503-07:002010-08-20T13:52:05.503-07:00Oh wow, my stomach was in KNOTS reading this.

Despite all the angst, I'm impressed that you were able to come through with a MS the editor liked. <br /><br />It does make me wonder why a book bought on the basis of a synopsis (that I'm assuming noted the story included voodoo) was later turned down for the subject matter. Although, having taught elementary and middle grades, I would agree that voodoo is quite dark for younger readers. Definitely YA and up fare.<br /><br />Congratulations on finding a new story that works!kathrynjankowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16708011523767228663noreply@blogger.com
