Manuscript… completed.

Filed in pending like a treasure in a hope chest.

Praying I don’t end up an old maid: no agent, no publisher.

Living on standby.

Waiting for transport to book deal heaven or please…no, not the dreaded Depths of Sheol: REJECTION.

Watching the news for what’s flooding, raging or burning.

A wind-up toy falling off the edge.

A balloon losing air; out of control, and all over the place.

Waiting for Spring.

Write from the Heart | Veronica Jorge | A Slice of OrangeHoping for agents, not pennies, from heaven.

Want to be a Weather Girl singing, “Hallelujah, it’s Raining Agents!”

Raining men: second choice.

 

See you next time on February 22nd.

  • A Bird Will Soar by Alison Green Myers: A Review by Veronica Jorge

    Once in a while you come across a book, that after reading it, makes you pause and think, even marvel because you’ve encountered life from an entirely new perspective. Alison Green Myers’, debut novel, A Bird Will Soar, is such a book.

  • Lost and Found by Veronica Jorge

    Winter.
    Lifeless, asleep, dead.
    All is gone. Lost.
    Until the last frost melts away.

  • A Year Is An Ocean by Veronica Jorge

    As the year draws to an end, preparing to close its final chapter, I think of the beach.

    It might seem perfectly normal to those of you living in sunny climates, or to snow bunnies hastening away from the cold. But to those of us in areas that have already seen our first snow, it might sound strange.
