Big News!
Today there was cause for dancing in my office...
I have just received word that Slough Press will be publishing my first full manuscript of poems!
I had to read the email about fifty million times before the news sank in.
And then, I couldn't breathe :)
Tenetively, it's titled The Garden, Uprooted. I'm not married to the title, so let's see what editor has to say.
Oh my I'm just so unbelievably excited!
But you know what else I feel?
Suspiciously empty.
This manuscript's been in the works since 2007... that's four years of writing, crafting, editing, musing, loving, and hating. I've gone through about a million zillion drafts... And now... it's off in the hands of a very able editor... but it's out of my hands...
I'm having some type of... seperation anxiety from my poems!
I totally need to get over it.
Back to the happy dancing! :D
You know there will be many more details to come!

Congratulations Katie! Fortunately, the editor will put the manuscript back in your hands for some changes, so don't worry. I look forward to learning more.
