All Systems Are GO! SEA Sets Sail!
I just got an email from my agent saying she loved my revision and all systems are go! Yay and triple yippees! She’s contacting editors from “the list” today. Eek and Yikes and All the Rest! Maybe ZERO will like it, maybe 2, maybe 3, maybe…Okay. Calm down. But anyway, off it goes. I think my agent might really be an editor in disguise because she came up with the best ideas that were so easy for me to add or cut. Simple, but really important ideas that no one, including me, had thought of. She totally rocks. I’ll do my best to keep you posted within friend-locked coded reason. Thanks so much for all of your support lj’ers. It wouldn’t be as exciting/scary/crazy/wonderful without y’all listening in…here’s hoping I don’t get 16 feedbacks of, “This sucks. Never contact us again!”
XOXOXO

Weekend Kudos to Lenka!
Mucho congrats to my fellow banana slug and almost-days-of-our-lives-co-writer lenkaland for completing revisions on her fantasy novel, THE GOBLIN QUEEN! Yay, Lenka! We at seaheidi (uh, that’d be me), wish her royal goblin highness the best of luck in landing a home in the fantastical land of publishing houses.
In other news: I was lucky enough to spend this afternoon w/ my boys on a golden beach. The sea was amazing: crystal clear and the color of sapphires. We also saw a rescue helicopter hover over the cliffs and then land on a strip of highway. We think it was a beach rescue, but they landed and were off again so quickly that maybe it was a car accident? It was exciting and scary nonetheless. We came home and Chef Hub made an amazing salmon dinner for our next door neighbors. The salmon cost more than gold—apparently it is special salmon that is only available two weeks out of the year. I asked the butcher for a hand-sized chunk and he gave me a pan-sized-chuck. Chef Husband almost had a stroke when he saw the price tag. We were assured our health will be perfect from now on and hope we don’t overdose of Omega-3. Our friends are so wonderful. They are on the waiting list to adopt a baby from Ethiopia, because they can’t have a child of their own. They are so excited that they already have a full nursery set up in their house and got teary-eyed talking about shopping for GOOD NIGHT GORILLA and GOOD NIGHT MOON at the book store. Every baby deserves future parents like those. I hope everything works out for them all.
Have a great week, my lj friends–oh, and I have a few new friends, so welcome! I hope I don’t scare you off too quickly with my random ramblings!!!
