OMGeezies!!!

The impossible has happened, and I don’t want to jinx it, but, hey, right?

The girl of my dreams. The very love of my life. She’s on Page 29 – yes, 29! of my 135-page manuscript.

What do you mean that sounds short? You’re short!

Anyway, the point is… SHE’S READING IT!!!

And she’s lika-likin’ it!

You’re a writer, you know this feeling. It’s like pins and needles and empty-headed confidence and bravado and you want to go hide in the closet until it’s over.

The thing is, well, it’s been in the “reading phase” for almost two weeks. So that hiding in the closet thing is right out.

But, hey! She’s reading it, and I am soooooooo happy! I can hardly wait to see what she thinks of the chapter that starts on page 29.

I once worked with a wonderful lady, from the lovely town of Oxnard, who used to say “OMGeezies,” when she thought something worthy. Kind of violates the acronym, kinda.

Here’s a piece of useless trivia: the first time OMG was used? 1917! An English admiral wrote it in a letter to Winston Churchill, First Sea Lord at the time. And, to make sure it was understood, the admiral wrote “(Oh My God)” after it.

Watch this space… more to come!

OMGeezies!!!
