But, I want you to know that I still tear up at the thought (I also say, "holy ______!" quite a bit, too - it must run in the family!), and I've told everyone I came in contact with last week about your success. Too bad it was a bunch of wino cyclists on a bike tour of Napa and not a teen among them. The point is, I am as happy for you as I would be for Eve (or Robin!) because the disco mermaids are Eve's core-group/family, which makes you, by transitive property, my core-group/family (you know, A = B, and B = C, so A = C).

Everytime I read one of your comments I wanna respond right away...but did you know that when someone buys your manuscript and wants to get it out within a year there's a whole heckuva lotta stuff to do right away? I sure didn't!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Robin, this whole experience has not given me a big head. I'm still the most humble person you know.

He "says" he was working out at the gym. Where are those two minutes, Jay? Huh?<BR/>What were you doing? Installing a hidden camera on Tammi?<BR/>Just so you know, in Friday's episode of "Jay's Gotta Big Head" I am not wearing gym clothes. Even though my arms and belly are not showing, it is still not a flattering set of pictures. So you have that to look forward to.<BR/>-RobinDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1160608582161370872006-10-11T16:16:00.000-07:002006-10-11T16:16:00.000-07:00Jay,Congratulations, first!

So many of us writers, right now, are just wishing we were you!<BR/><BR/>Second--I think these posts have just put it out there about how wonderful writing support is--both from our spouses and from our critique groups. (Of course, I'm not sure if I could wait to tell my group till I told my husband, but that's probably because he's not so good about picking up the phone at work and doesn't even know HOW to get into his voicemail!) I know just how Eve feels--my group is getting really close to all this happening to us; one writer has two separate book deals pending (two series, can you believe it!) and two others have agents wanting whole manuscripts. Me--I'm jumping on their schedule bandwagon & writing like I've never written before. We're all just on a high for each other--its an amazing feeling!<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to see the book itself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1160606603951388472006-10-11T15:43:00.000-07:002006-10-11T15:43:00.000-07:00I'm most impressed by Eve's wardrobe shenanigans.A...I'm most impressed by Eve's wardrobe shenanigans.<BR/><BR/>And...um...there wasn't a web camera on me or anything when you emailed me the news, was there?

Although he does occasionally go to the gym for 8 minutes and walk a couple circles around the weight machines...I swear! Ask Robin!<BR/><BR/>Second, I dress up in running clothes every day so that anyone who drops by will think I actually do something all day besides play on the internet and read blogs. It's all about appearances...I used to stay in my jammies all day, but then I just looked lazy.<BR/><BR/>EveDisco Mermaidshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16749764215612594204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19440114.post-1160573216178170222006-10-11T06:26:00.000-07:002006-10-11T06:26:00.000-07:00What strikes me most - after the wonderful joy, ex...What strikes me most - after the wonderful joy, excitement, gushing, tears and swearing - everyone you tell seems to be running or getting ready to run or dressing up like runners. <BR/><BR/>And the flowers?
