Publisher's Review!

Hello all,

SO...The publisher finished reading my book "The Middle of the Sidewalk," and she sent me an email asking me to call her. Here's what she had to say:

"I think this book could win you some awards."

"This has the potential to become a classic."

"This story is a gem! It's so beautifully written."

"You're a literary genius. You've got such talent."

I will DEFINITELY publish this book!"

"Except...one problem...

...You completely botched the ending."

This isn't as devastating as it sounds. I'll admit it, the ending is the hardest for me to write. But it's also the easiest part to fix. She asked me to re-write the last 15,000 words (which is more promising than the complete re-write she asked for with my first book "The Sons of Luther"). That said, it's [partially] back to the drawing board, but it shouldn't take me very long (I'll probably be done before New Year's).

All in all, I'm SUPER ecstatic, mostly because she capped off the conversation with this:

"If you can create an ending as good as the rest of the book, It could be a bestseller. How soon can you get this back to me? I hope to have your book out as a summer read before you graduate."

Onward and Upward,
