4 Leaf Clovers, Rabbit Feet, and Horseshoes

Good luck is starting to spread around. Check out Larissa Ione’s good news! :thumbsup:

I printed out His Chosen Bride last night and boxed it up. It’s ready to go. There’s something immensely satisfying about seeing a completed book, printed and boxed. It’s one of the greatest writing affirmations to look at that package and think–I wrote that. Wow.

The last time I mailed off this manuscript to Mills & Boon, I petted the box and told it to be good. I rubbed the top of it and told it to make an editor smile. Crazy, huh? :goodvibes: But that’s when I received my first revision letter.

I had to resist the urge to cover this box with four leaf clovers and horseshoes. I thought about rabbit feet, but that would be rather disgusting, having bloody little bunny appendages stuck to a package. Not to mention the er…aroma. But this box has been petted, told to be good, and magic fairy dust has been liberally sprinkled all over.

I believe that this is the one. It’s going to happen for me with this book. :typing:

    My DH always kisses my entries before they go. It’s a very important ritual for me (he humors me) but I think it works.

    And as far as rabbits feet…don’t believe what you hear. They are only lucky for the rabbit.
