Shelf Space
The realty people held an Open House this afternoon which necessitated our making ourselves scarce, so the DH and I haunted a nearby Barnes and Noble.
He went off to the gardening section looking for books on succulents, while I checked out the succulent YA. I don't know why it had never occurred to me to see where my book would (will!!) be when it hits the shelf, but today I checked that out.
OMG can you see what I see? I always knew I'd be next to Holly Black--that's a no-brainer. But Francesca Lia Block? And just inches from Judy Blume? What insanely wonderful real estate. What an honor.
What a responsibility! I just have to finish the book (so close now), get an agent, sell it, survive revisions, copy edits, cover treatments, and . . . and . . . and . . .
But you know what? I'm up for all that.
Completely.

Hell yeah, you're up for it, and I'll be cheering you on along the way. I need to see where I'm going to be, too.
Sorry about the photo, my version is all wonky, too! Not Sara's fault--I had it still set to the night setting. We're just going to have to get together next year for another go-round.
I'm playing the Rocky theme just for you.
Go, Gina, go!
Yes, "will," definitely.
Go, Gina!!!
Gabrielle--this just means that next year we are fated to see each other. So we will!
Elen--da da daaaaaa, da da daaaaaa . . . I can hear it all the way over here. :)
Therese--Grazie, grazie.
