…well almost.
After a year of hibernating on my computer, my little manuscript is printed (HIP HIP) and mail ready (HURRAY!!!). Only one last things stands between my desk and the mail box–address labels, large address labels. During the printing process, I discovered that our printer does not print on resume size envelopes and our address labels are too small to accommodate the six lines of publishers’ addresses. So with a little, friendly assistance from OfficeMax, these bundles should be ready in the morning.
If you feel so inclined, you may pray that someone at Clarion Books; Houghton Mifflin; Little, Brown; Boyds Mills Press; or LADYBUG Magazine will be enchanted with “Henri and Bernard” and want to publish my silly, little story.
This is new step for me. I rarely put action behind my art. I am much more of a dreamer than a doer when it comes to artistic endeavors. So here’s to hoping! …hoping that is that these manuscripts don’t start collecting dust on my desk and actually find their way to the post office!
Wow!! That’s great, Rachel…I had no idea!! I have long known that you are a wonderful writer. Can I read your manuscript? Hurrah for you for putting wheels on your story! Happy trails, Rachel’s dear manuscript. May you return with tales of many publishers who loved reading you.
Way to go Rach! As I’ve kept up with your captivating stories on the blog, I’ve often thought you should write a book. Here’s to a step in that direction. You better get that manuscript in the mail!
Whoohooo way to go! fjigers crooseeed..okay not while typing. but good luck to you…how inspiring you are!

I LOVE seeing and reading about your precious little daughter! She is so sweet and adorable!!
Wow! All of you are so encouraging! Thank you for being so supportive. I am happy to report that the parcels did make it to the post office–they
are on their way. It will most likely be months before I hear anything, but I will definitely keep you posted
yeah!! I’m excited for you, and proud of you that it made it to the post office!! See you in the morning!!- Shanel
Here’s hoping that since you mailed your manuscript right here in my little town of Chaska that just a l i t t l e extra charm will sail with it (not that your story needed it, to be sure…and, yes, when DO we all get to read it?!!?)
add me to the reading list! I so don’t wank to wait for the publishing process!
