It's so exciting to share. I've made it a personal goal of mine to help other writers with their struggles. Because writing is a struggle. It's what I like to call labor love. You just have to keep asking yourself how badly you want it and what you are willing to do to get it. My website will finally be up and running and will have an e-mail address in the next two weeks. Feel free to e-mail me anytime about anything. Really.<BR/>LOL Darcy! What kind of revisions for Mistress of Pleasure? None. Just a basic line edit. Which is amazing. My agent was brilliant enough to get me to the end of the year to perfect some of the things that we wanted perfected. And seeing I'm still in culinary school (with only a week left and a ten week externship!) it's perfect. And yes Tessa! It's the same Delilah from Dallas....bless you, bless you, bless you on calling me 12 in 1998...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981315063491687057.post-59397041619898768662007-09-30T09:12:00.000-04:002007-09-30T09:12:00.000-04:00A story that can speak to us all.Congrats.Jennifer...A story that can speak to us all.<BR/>Congrats.<BR/><BR/>JenniferJennifer Linforthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13301074863198334749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981315063491687057.post-25223142683575515992007-09-30T09:06:00.000-04:002007-09-30T09:06:00.000-04:00I love this story--thanks so much for sharing it w...I love this story--thanks so much for sharing it with us!

It can't possibly be, because if that Delilah started writing romance in 1998, she must have been like 12 years old. Two kids?

I can't begin to imagine what that must have been like.<BR/><BR/>Somehow, it's particularly inspirational to me that you wrote a lot of books before you sold. I do think that's the secret to getting better--writing more books--but I see enough first sales of first books made that I occasionally get depressed.<BR/><BR/>And I'm really, really looking forward to reading <I>Mistress of Pleasure</I> myself.Jackie Barbosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02904049760374126059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981315063491687057.post-3814789267996493592007-09-28T12:33:00.000-04:002007-09-28T12:33:00.000-04:00Congratulations!

Thanks for guesting with us Delilah!<BR/><BR/>Question (and, I know the answer, but I want you to share, lol): What kinds of revisions did your agent and editor request?
