Chicken Soup for the Chocolate Lover's Soul should have hit the stands today. What fun to be included in this book. I have to admit I've been trying for years to get accepted into a Chicken Soup book. Being the analyzer that I am, I've taken a hard look at my submissions that were rejected(ignored)and this one that was accepted and here's what I've come up with: my other submissions were painstakingly constructed. With this submission I sat down, whipped it out and sent it on its way. The difference I believe is that The Dud in White was written from the heart and with passion. Too bad I can't sit down and whip out my novels in one passionate moment. Do you think we sometimes edit the passion out of our books and stories?
If you get a chance, pick up a copy of Chicken Soup for the Chocolate Lover's Soul and read my story.

Congratulations! How super to be included in the book! I'll be looking for it.
And yeah, I think we can edit the breath out of our work sometimes.
Wow, congrats! I'll have to make a stop at Barnes and Noble.
Wow! Two of my favorite things in the same book: a good friend and chocolate. I can't wait to read it.
WTG! This'll be my first Chicken Soup book.
Oh yes, I firmly believe that the passion and soul can be edited out of a work. There is a fine line between polishing and stripping.
