Plenty is my word for the day. Plenty as in plentiful, prosperous, abundant! You can use it too if you like. I hope it brings you plenty of everything good.
Penguin liked the ms but they didn’t “fall in love” with it so it’s a no go with them. Luckily my skin is pretty thick after years of writing and rejection.
Beauty, as we know, is all in the eye of the beholder. So I just have to get my story in front of the right “beholder”. I’m trying for the Scribe CAL Prize next. Cross fingers.
Love to all.
TARA, Goddess of poetry and prose
Tantric wisdom goddess of poetry and prose
“The ruling lady of speech, like a wish-fulfilling vine around your devotee,
You who grant all the accomplishment of all goals,
Everywhere adorned with all naturally perfect prose and poetry,
You who grant realisation… “(verses in praise of Tara, Tarashtakam)
Tara is the Tantric wisdom goddess for writers. She is the destroyer of all obstacles, taking her devotee easily across any difficult situation. Don’t we all need a goddess like that? She is the muse who guides us along the creative path. One who is devoted to Tara, it is said, can never be defeated in debate or in the display of literary talents! (Tantric Yoga and the Wisdom Goddesses by Dr. David Frawley)
Om is her mantra.
OM OM OM!
(we need all the help we can get!)
