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

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.

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.
ReplyDeleteHope to see more of you :)
Oh my goodness, ladies, thank you so much for your comments. You're all so sweet! I just can't get over how positive and supportive the whole Musa community is!
