New Year, New Blog!

2011 was a rough year for me.  It was one setback after another, and at one point I was seriously considering trying my hand at writing country songs (no, not seriously).  But then on November 9th, I got an email that turned my world around.  Musa Publishing sent me a contract!  They wanted to publish my book!  Naturally I jumped at the chance.  Flash forward to the present, and all systems are go.  Four months from today I will be a published author.  Well... four months and fifteen days, to be precise.

I cannot even find the words to convey how excited I am about this.  (Um... should I be worried about that?  I am a writer, after all...  Only kidding.)  I wrote my first "book" at the age of seven, and I've been creating stories off and on ever since.  Needless to say, it's been a lifelong dream to have my fiction published, and now it's actually happening.  It's all still a bit surreal.

Thanks so much for stopping by to read.  All the best for the new year and fingers crossed that 2012 will be a banner year for all of us!

Love,
Libby

  4. Good luck, Libby, with your book with Musa. I felt the same way when I received my contract! How cool is that, eh? You have a wonderful future ahead of you, fellow Musan.

  5. Congratz Libby. I'm just an intern who dreams of someday being an author, but I almost cried with happiness when I got a Christmas card from Musa calling me an editor, so I know how you feel.

    Hope to see more of you :)
