I am. I strive to be.

I pitched my novel to a publisher.

The long and short of it: I was asked to share a few chapters, but only after another round of edits on the novel. A BIG round of edits. It's great to get the validation that my idea is a good one. Now I need to follow through!

(Note, the story is behind a subscribe wall because I share certain details, but … I shared the good news anyway. Hey! Subscribe! :)

I see this happening right now, and I shake my head. "But you already *knew* he is a sexual predator, to include preying upon underaged girls." But just like they have done with Matt Gaetz, MAGA seems to empathize with sexual predators. I suspect they will ultimately choose the path to the right.
