More Happy Dancing!!!!!

After working all week, I had all day today to work on my stuff. I thought I'd be here at the computer FOREVER!!! Instead, I finished the polishing on "A Taste of Christmas" and submitted it.
Then, I finished the edits on "Heart of the Storm" and submitted that. I am DONE!!!!!!!!!!! YAYYYYY!
Now I just have to waaaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttt.
While I was working, I used the slow times to--you guessed it--write. I've started a romantic fantasy. Thirty-seven pages long hand. I have to get it on the computer, but it's going to be a fun one to get down. I have no idea where this is going (being a complete panster) but I'm having a good time so far.
One thing I decided. I DO NOT want a full time 9-5 job. The whole time I was there dispatching, making deposites, writing reports and putting people on the computer, I wanted to be home writing. It's motivation folks. I need to get published and make some money at it. Otherwise, this job will be available soon and I'll have no good reason not to take it.
I'm well on my way. It felt so good to press "send" and be finished.
So, to update. I have "Perfect" out and I'm still waiting to hear back. I just subbed my Christmas story and HOTS. I'm being published in an anthology in March of '07. It's looking good.
I started a sequel to HOTS called "Eye of the Storm". I've got my fantasy flying along and I'm getting ready to do some editing. It feels GOOD!!!!!!!!
I want to thank everyone who has encouraged me. There's a ton. Sometimes, it was just a comment on my blog (both this one and Jennifer Leelands') and sometimes it was long conversations instant messaging. All of you have given me the courage to go on. Thank you so much.
Question of the Day? What encourages you? Is it success? Is it people telling you that you can do it?
