Got responses back the same day on the PM proposal. Both are tech book publishers and accepted submissions via email – and responded via email. Didn’t hear from the second publisher for a few days, but they were also very interested. WooHoo! Took 6 months to get here, but I’m talking to publishers about a book.

Ran to the library and read up on contracts and negotation. Didn’t write a lick all day – too excited to stay in the chair. Did some editing later on, but my rhythm was way off – hard to concentrate. Feel like a rooke that got to first base for the first time.
You think everyone is watching you, but really you’re just another shmoe standing on the bag.
