Butter melting on a huge bowl of popcorn...
Ice cream on a
hot summer's day...
Your favorite chocolates...
Good news is like
that, packaged in the yummiest of flavors just for you. It is meant to awaken
the most wonderful feelings of happiness lying dormant within you for a long
time. It is meant to be shared so that the good tidings will influence things
for others, serving as a token of good luck, allowing them to receive their own
good news.
For the group posting for this month's IWSG post, I'd like to focus on something
good that had happened instead of the few rejections I've received lately.
You see, one of my manuscripts, written for children, was
accepted on its first submission to a book publisher! I received the email last
March 19, 2015. This is the same publisher I told you about before who asked
for samples of my work. I sent some samples and wrote a new story for them, for
a different age group, and they liked it! Yay! So happy!
What about you? What's your good news?
Any insecurities for this month?
Are you joining this month's A to Z Challenge? If so, good luck! I'll probably join it again next year.
Off to visit the IWSG host, Alex J Cavanaugh, the co-hosts for this month (Suzanne Furness, Tonja Drecker, Toi Thomas, Rachna Chhabria, Fundy Blue, and Donna Hole) and the other members. I'll see you
next post. And please don't be shy if you are itching to leave a comment below.
:-) Here's a HUGE and warm virtual *HUG*!

Thanks, Suzanne!
Sorry I got nothing like that. All I can say is I'm up to my elbows working on a WIP--still, again, etc. :-)
Here's my link if you'd like to drop by :-)
Anna from Elements of Writing
I already did, Anna. :-) Thanks for taking the time to drop by.
Sittie, that is the sweetest, yummiest news I've heard for the day!
I'm so happy for you!
Congratulations!
Congratulations on the book deal! That is awesome.
Congratulations! Sometimes it’s just nice to hear some good news even if it’s not about you. I hope all goes well with your publication process. Maybe we’ll cross paths next year as we both take on the challenge.

Congrats on the wonderful news. I hope more is to come.
That's great news.
You are killing me with those goodie images, SC! I'd have been finished if you had included a glass of red wine! Congratulations on your wonderful news, and thanks for sharing you happiness and accomplishment! Way to go! Enjoy the rest of your day!
The popcorn pic made me drool. LOL Congrats on your story. Sending cyber wishes for success.
Yay! Congratulations! :) Now I'm really hungry for some reason. Hehehe.
Congratulations! Great news. I also got good news recently. My novel Eagle En Garde won the 2015 EPIC eBook Award in the fantasy category.
That's wonderful. Congratulations! I also like writing for kids. They are a great audience.

Congratulations!!! That's terrific, and enjoy the high. Oh...and those food pictures are so mean - now, I'm hungry ;)
YAY! Congratulations!!! I just typed "The End" on the second book in my chapter book series...which is due April 15. My agent's on maternity leave, though, and doesn't realize I have this deadline, so I'm going to have to nudge her in a few days and say, "Do you want to submit this or do you want me to?"
Sittie,
Congratulations! Thanks for sharing the encouraging positivity.
Anne

@Fundy Blue: LOL! Perhaps, next time. Actually, I was thinking of adding a cup of coffee, a mug of hot chocolate and cup of tea, and let everyone take their pick on what they prefer. I forgot about the glass of wine for those who love that. :-)
