I've Been a Busy Broad... Mayhap

What I've managed to do today:

1. Write and send 5 acceptance letters for manuscripts
2. Send an introductory letter to the newest author to join my group (more news when it's officially official)
3. Invite said author to my authors' group
4. Send 1 story back for minor corrections, then on to line edits
5. Compile my list of fave authors (see below), sans the erotic romances I edit and enjoy, most of whom you'll find on my sidebar at as well.

Doesn't seem like a lot, does it, and yet this has somehow eaten away my day. And I've tons more to do.
