I was watching Sleepless in Seattle (on TV and loaded with commercials) last night and I couldn't believe that it was made 20 years ago. It is still a premier chick flick and probably an inspiration to many of us. The best line in the whole movie was from Jonah, the little son, who said about his dad Sam's (Tom Hanks) new girl friend, "She has a laugh like a hyena." And she did.Mary Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-60250016549762676652012-07-02T14:23:08.082-07:002012-07-02T14:23:08.082-07:00Got it, Tamara. Replied.

Look at Writer's Market and it is filled with University Literary magazines, but that is not the place for me.<br /><br />How long has the Chinese Horoscope story been hanging out at the WW offices? It seems you told us about it months ago. I don't know what is in it, but I hope they buy it. I am all in favor of stories that don't adhere to the usual WW profile.<br /><br />I will be competing with you for the Valentine issue, but mine is a "different" one and may not have a chance. <br /><br />Getting into one of those 52 annual slots is almost like winning the lottery!Mary Jonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-406318704822590967.post-74867193249968439922012-06-29T12:10:07.395-07:002012-06-29T12:10:07.395-07:00Commiserations on the rejection, they're never...Commiserations on the rejection, they're never nice to receive :o(<br /><br />I love the idea of Chinese horoscope stories - we should have them here in the UK!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05986874444030474719noreply@blogger.com
