A Chinese Update

[athersgeo]

I've just (literally!) heard back from the GGB editor...

...and it's good news.

If I'm willing to work on what I've got and proceed towards publication, they're willing to publish me!

Now how's THAT for a Saturday morning surprise? *grins*

I still have a long way to go - I haven't yet read the editor's comments and I know that I've got a lot of work ahead of me - but still. YAY!!!

There will be a more detailed post about this over on JF in a little while, once I've read through what's the what and fully taken everything in. I'm still too busy going "EEEEEE" to be coherent!

I was fairly well convinced they were going to say thanks but no thanks, so I'm still a little in shock - and at the same time, very, very excited :)

[cmar-wingnut.livejournal.com]

Wow, congratulations! I know you've been working for this for a long time!

Hi there, congratulations! Liz linked me to this entry, hope that is okay as I am not friended to you :) I was wondering if it was okay to say this on the Digest?

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

Firstly, thank you :) Secondly, welcome to my LJ - I'm always happy to have folks wander by :)

As far as the Digest goes, be my guest. I haven't put anything up on the board yet because of not really knowing quite where to put it!

[tracykitn.livejournal.com]

Ok, I asked you about your icon on MTS, and you said to feel free to gank it, but...ummm. I'm just a teeny bit technologically impaired, so...how do I do that? Please help; my hubby's a major Vader fan, and he's currently US Army stationed in Iraq, and...well, mostly just how? (you can email me at tracykitn@yahoo.com)

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

To gank... Right-click on the image and choose the "save image"/"save picture as" option. Save it to your computer, then uploaded to your live journal account using the http://www.livejournal.com/editpics.bml - entering "Credit to: SA goon Mafialligator" in the comments box.

Hope that helps.

[ciorstaidh.livejournal.com]

Wow, WELL DONE!

Am I glad I persevered with the flist. Skip 460 in 10 days, and that's journals only? Sheesh.

...which are the others in the pipeline, taht aren't a deep-dark-deadly secret that is? There's Lisa's Trouble, Caroline's Deira, Jane's Guides, & KB's next one-whose-name-I-can't-remember...suerly we don't know about them all???

[athersgeo.livejournal.com]

*laughs* It has been a busy week one way or another!

Thank you :)

So far as what's ahead of me, the only ones I know about are the ones you've just mentioned, unless Heather Paisley's doing a second one (and I did hear a rumour about that - but that might just have been someone's wishful thinking).
