ReplyDeleteYippee-skippy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats everyone.
Congrats to you, Gina, and all the finalists! I just finished reading "Crossing Oceans" and it was amazing. Such an awesome read! I would recommend NOT reading it while traveling on a flight, however, because other passengers may wonder why you're crying...not that I would know that, or anything...LOL!
ReplyDeleteawww, thanks Ane :), Kelly, Mike, and Elaine. I appreciate it. Sorry to make you cry Elaine... I cried when writing it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I cried during some scenes through multiple critiques. Oh ... uh ... I meant that the good way. LOL I guess it could be taken wrong, but you know what I mean. Right? :o}
ReplyDeleteQuit while you're ahead, Ane. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Gina! I'm so excited for you and will be cheering you on! :)
