"The best thing about writing books is being at a party and telling some pretty girl that you write books. The worst thing is sitting at a typewriter and actually writing the book". Len Deighton.

After some persuasion, I agreed to put one of my stories to an editor for a manuscript evaluation. The response:

I was quickly drawn in, and your style is certainly one which is something I feel can be placed with the right publisher.

Followed by a positive appraisal (with some suggestions) and a researched list of potential publishers.

I'm not yet ready to consider publication--I need a more substantial body of good writing behind me, I think. But I feel validated, which is a great outcome.
