I was wondering about that the other day, and I haven't personally spoken to Trillian in a long time, so felt a little silly bringing it up.. so I thank you!

Hope to hear from you sometime!

So Trillian, where the heck are you?

I've been trying to reply for a couple of days, from two different computers, to no avail...let me try a short post first...

Oh my...would you believe my eyes are welling? It's been an up and down for this Aries girl and what a joy to stop by Lindaland and find all this love. Thank you my friends...I've missed you, too. I needed to step away from active life in LL for a little while, but you have all been in my heart and on my mind and I do wander in now and then to check on everyone. Lately I've felt the calling to renew here, but didn't know where to start. Lucky me, you wonderful people started for me...

OK, Jazzebel Oh yes, dear lady, I have not forgotten. I have read through your emails/reading several times since you were kind enough to do that for me. You've been completely right about everything. So I keep believing and having faith that all will come together with my first novel, and that it will be published next year. (Another dear and gifted friend from LL had done a fabulous tarot reading for me in which she also saw it being published, and that all that i seek coming together for me. I hold on to these things some days, as powerful, personal talismans.)

As you saw, Jaz, there have been some delays. I don't think you know that one of the biggest was a computer crash a year ago that completely destroyed the latest draft, and corrupted my back-up. All the changes I'd made were lost. I was heartbroken but looked at it as a supreme sign to begin again, working from an earlier draft, and I do believe the book benefitted from this seeming tragedy.

Now, I continue the search for an agent and publisher. It's a little daunting. But like you said, 2007 is only six months away, so I hope great things start rolling in my direction soon. I'm doing very well in many ways, so please don't think I'm morose. Just very eager for the positive changes I've been working towards.

Possibly a new relationship, you say? Well...nah. Doesn't look like it. The latest prospect turned out to not be so promising...

Pixie, how are you darlin'? I love your energies when I do pop in. You are definitely at the heart of LL.

salome thank you for the kind thoughts, and the same back to you...

And love to you, lalalinda. Do you still have my email? I don't know where you are these days, either. Did you move with your daughter?

26T, you know I adore you. Are you still at the same email and snail mail address?

Tink...I miss you too. You are so insightful and wise...and tough, too. I often admire the woman I see through your posts.

SunChild, thank you. I think of you, too, especially when I am preparing a meal of raw veggies.

jwhop How the heck are you? Yeah, I'm always butting my horns against something. Life wouldn't be natural without doing so, it seems. LOL Thanks for the lovely vote of confidence, and I hope you are well and happy.

It's a beautiful Saturday morning and it's been made fabulous by stopping into LL and finding all of you here. Thank you so much. Please write to me anytime, I love hearing from you. I think
trillian@linda-goodman.com still works, but if not, just let me know.

Like I said, Jazz was right about everything, so I have faith. And as the happy news comes in, I'll be sure to share it here. Are you kidding?! I'll buy the LL banner to proclaim "TRILLIAN HAS A BOOK!!"

Thank you from my heart...

Whew!

Thank you to the word druids or whatever powers that be...

I'll be sending you an email as soon as I make a new email address (soon). I'm not using my other one anymore. As for snail mail, I believe you have the right one, except that I moved from apt. 23 to apt. 24. Bigger and nicer.

TINK Thanks for the vote of confidence. You're a wonderful and very intelligent woman and I hope you keep in touch. I'll be in NYC in late August; any chance you might be around? It seems to me that you sometimes are in the city.

Jazz Thanks for the email, sweet lady. You are very talented, and you can bet I'll keep my eyes out for The One with the Dimple(s)!

26T Yes, please write to me. I've been searching for the perfect little...thing...for you. Perhaps while in NYC.

Thanks for all the love. Back atcha!

Yes, I do often go to NYC. I haven't been this summer though. This August I'll be 7 months pregnant (surprise!) and a hot, sweltering August day in NY in that physical state might not be wise. *sigh* Just a few days ago I was saying to the hubby I could really use a few days in Manhatten. The first of many sacrifices, he reminded me. Ah well, someday I'll take the bambino on expeditions through the Park and introduce him to Alice and the toy boats.

And someday, dear Trill - God willing - we'll have one of those top of the Empire State Building movie type meetings in the Center of the World. A good browse through the Gotham Book Mart followed by Frrozzzen Hot Chocolates at Serendipity 3 on me.

Ahhhh...are you a James Joyce fan, then? Of course you are. Ever read Tom Robbins' take on Finnegan's Wake in Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates? It's a running joke through the novel. I will look forward to our NYC adventure, and those Frrozzzen Hot Chocolates are on me.
