@HALcruises Giant thank you to Megan F. for taking care of everything!! She was such a huge help and a pleasure to work with ❤️

@HALcruises I've been trying for months to reach Guest Rel. to transfer my late husband's credits to my name to cruise w/friends before credits expire. Last 2 years have been brutal -- lost my job to covid, then my husband to cancer. It shouldn't be so hard to transfer credits.

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

@HALcruises Just sent the email to you, thanks so much!

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

@Delta Have tried to reach you several times. Yesterday my “20 min” wait time was an hour 20 by the time I gave up. Need help transferring ecredit out of my late husband’s name. Can someone assist?

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

@AgentShea Appreciate you reading so many queries! I sent my #WomensFiction query to you late yesterday. Hopefully you’ll be interested but if I get a “pass” I promise to let you move on to the next bunch without asking for feedback! 😉

Lots of people are cancelling travel plans because of COVID-19. But after a rough Feb, all of Jimmy’s docs gave him the green light for our upcoming cruise. Do we cancel? Hell no, we upgrade to a suite w/balcony! At least if we get quarantined we'll have a mini-bar & sunshine!

@JeffETennant What a great photo and story about your dad (love that he’s called “Grandsir!”). I hope he had a wonderful birthday and that you are doing well, JT!

Hoping that when it quiets down at @Delta, they're super busy, that someone will help me with a credit. Tried calling & chatting, website kicked me out twice after freezing, but not before it completed my booking w/OUT me hitting confirm (I couldn't it was frozen again!)

2019: Husband survived a heart attack. Mom survived a stroke. Son survived Marine Corps boot camp. I survived a LOT of stress. It wasn’t all bad (keyword: survived). But I’m shooting for a better 2020, a year we’ll look back on and say, “2020? Now that was a fun year!” Cheers!

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

@LitAgentKelly This is incredibly helpful and eye opening (and a bit depressing ... lol). Thank you for taking the time to share all of this info. Happy holidays!

Adding to my rejection collection – always nice form letters. I was thrilled to get a rejection today that was a bit personal, telling me to keep at it. It wasn't a “Love it!” but it’s enough to keep me feeling positive! #amquerying

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

While researching agencies, I found you @LKGagency. I’m bummed that you only rep MG and YA fiction because I LOVED your bios (my mss is women’s fiction). But thank you for having fun with your site, it was a nice change of pace!

[Ellen Slingsby Miller @eslingsby]

@jessica_froberg Finished revisions and began querying! No luck yet but it’s still early. 🤞

@sharongracepjs Wow, I’d say you dodged a bullet by not working with this person! I got a rejection on Thanksgiving and my first thought was “bummer, another rejection.” My second thought? “Wow, she’s working on Thanksgiving! They must have a ton of queries to get through. That’s dedication.”

What makes business travel better? When your son drives more than 5 hours to visit you during your trip, especially since you won't see each other at the holidays. #love #family #MarineMom
