Right now I feel the way this beautiful fairy tern looks: soaring on the current, rejuvenated by the sea air…yessirree, it feels GOOD to send a completed manuscript off to my editor!! I entrusted it to FedEx on Wednesday and have given myself a day or two away from writing to catch up on other stuff!

But this fairy tern also gives us a sense of knowing its own POWER…and that’s my goal now as I approach a birthday, and come to the table for new contracts with ALL of my editors. I have this fine, feisty sense that I will continue the Love Secret series, with a fine new editor; that I will continue to write as Melissa MacNeal for a Kensington editor, and my agent and I also have a new proposal idea for the Dorchester editor who now works at Kensington, for whom I’ve written my Angels of Mercy series, and to whom I originally sold my Love Secret series! And–I began brainstorming with another editor at our NINC conference last fall.

FOUR editors are interested in my work–or at least interested in working with ME right now! I see that as reason indeed to flap my wings and fly high this year!!

I wish you the same sense of optimism as you test your wings and know your own inner strength and power!
