Maisey – NTAI is a stupid acronym I made up. Not Thinking About It. Relates to subbing. 🙂 I like the motto. Galaxy Quest was a great movie.

Sally – July?? Woah! That’s a loooong time. You queried? Yeah, looking forward to this course, especially since it’s dealing with my weakness – characters!

Susan – cheers! Yeah I’m holding out for my year. If I can get through the wait. Sigh. Anyway, I’ll let you know how the recce goes. 😉

Kaily – you’re so right! Yep, don’t think this path gets any easier – at least from what Heidi and Nat say! Ah well, by the time it happens, I shall be supreme ruler of the world so I’m sure it won’t be that bad. 🙂

I figure you have to be a fighter to make it on this path to publication. This process seems to be designed to weed out those that don’t have the stomach, guts or ‘those male round things’. I’ve come to realize you need all of that once you actually get THE CALL cause it sure doesn’t get any easier, possibly just the opposite. You’ll need staying power once you get there. It wouldn’t hurt to be the supreme ruler either.

Jackie really love your comment about sending spies on a reconnaisance mission, if only! I would love to be a fly on the wall in the mills and boon offices.
Just remember I’ve already tipped you, that this could be YOUR year!

Jackie, you’re going to love the course, Laurie is really awesome. I did this course last year and worked out an entire new book from it, with the idea seeded from lesson 2 – amazing! The book in question is the one that is lurking unread somewhere in Richmond. I hope its being used as a coffee coaster and will eventually see the light of day (been there since July) and hasn’t been tossed onto the stove to keep the romance gals warm!

Heidi - oh, no, not you too! ;-) No primrose path to Bestseller land for Jackie! Ah well, good to know those things in advance. Thanks for the understanding re the vent. I'm afraid it's mandatory for me at certain times. :-) And thanks for the heads-up re the London office. Commencing NTAI and world domination...now.

Janette - indeed. Gotta have Arnie in there.

Lorraine - hey! Long time no see! Yes, you're my spy. You can be responsible for over-seeing the icecream drops. :-)

Sally - yeah, saw you over there! I've never done an online course before so looking forward to it. Self doubt's bum has been majorly kicked. Going to do some more kicking tonight. :-)

Joanne - Thanks! But of course, when I rule the world, there will be publishing contracts for all - but just people I like okay? You're one of them. For a small fee... ;-)

Sri - thanks for that! Yep, looking forward to getting stuck into that.

Love the post, Jackie. Can I show what a noob I am and ask what NTAI means? I have a theory. Don't know if I've guessed right.
