Thank you so much for the award. Wel...Hello Rachna,<br />Thank you so much for the award. Well I guess a funny thing that has occurred through writing is when I thought my main character was my main character. After I finished all the illustrations I finally realized that it was never my main character because the other character just took everything over... and the whole time I was not catching on..<br />smiles<br />sytivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-5549651664107861982010-11-01T14:00:03.594-07:002010-11-01T14:00:03.594-07:00Where on earth did my comment go?

I'm ashamed to say I can't think of any funny anecdotes about my route to publication - it's all been incredibly serious. Maybe that's what's funny.

I worked on the school paper and frequently submitted poetry for the art page at the last minute (I may be a slacker...) Well, I was in such a hurry one day, I submitted a... special (cough cough) poem I'd written for my girlfriend and it got published before I could catch it. I'd never blushed so much in my life as I did walking the halls that week.Ken Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113460297980380216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-85227613280239461022010-10-29T08:17:46.437-07:002010-10-29T08:17:46.437-07:00Rachna, you are so sweet!

You deserve every single one of them, because you always put out such great writing tips and inspiration.<br /><br />A funny thing...well, I cringed when it first happened, but I had a manuscript ACCEPTED (yay!) and the editor wanted me to send a final digital copy of the manuscript. I went through it one more time, and realized I had an "it's" where it needed to be "its." I was so embarrassed! AND it was in the first paragraph! Ugh. Thankfully they didn't decide I was a knucklehead and bought the article anyway, but still...<br /><br />Thanks again for all you do, and I hope you have a great weekend!Julie Musilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02150454913885915017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-53498815269683675352010-10-29T07:45:13.126-07:002010-10-29T07:45:13.126-07:00Thank you for the award, Rachna!Won't it be fu...Thank you for the award, Rachna!Won't it be funny if I actually write 50,000 words in November?Birgitte Necessaryhttp://www.necessarywriters.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-8065214128485828052010-10-29T05:43:12.893-07:002010-10-29T05:43:12.893-07:00Thank you Rachna!

Needless to say I was excited to see it in print. <br /><br />My friend advised me to take it to Bangalore's leading newspaper. "The editor has written few books, tell her you loved them. You will win few brownie points." <br /><br />The silly girl that I was, I told the editor "I have read all your books. " She gave me a snooty look and said, "Really, but I haven't written any books." After that incident I make it a point to research the people I am meeting, and never follow my friend's advice.Rachna Chhabriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900999965919504282noreply@blogger.com
