Final update regarding the publisher I was talking with. =(.  I got a response: 
          
          Hi,
          
          Thank you for working on Simple Submission. I have given it a complete assessment and I'm sorry that I can't give you better news.
          
          Frankly, you aren't that far off the mark. That said, though, it reads as a little choppy--lots of short scenes-- and just not refined enough. I don't know exactly how to tell you what 'not refined enough' means, which I'm sure will frustrate you to no end. There is just something about the tone of the writing that doesn't flow easily and reads a little rudimentary. 
          
          Thank you so much for letting us read it. The story itself is a good one, and perhaps another publisher may be interested. I hope so. 
          
          Best of luck to you as you move forward honing your craft.
          
          It was heartbreaking when i read it the first time but after i read it another two/three times I realized it wasn't as bad as it seemed at first.  They like the story.  I guess I need to improve it somehow but...I'll be damned if I know what to do.  Maybe I should go take a class or something */*shrug*/*

@Everlasting_Stardust agreed.  ^_^  I just didn't see it at first

@AliciaCCTX I'm sorry to hear you it didn't work out, but that's not exactly a bad review on it either. He/She said it's a good book, but it just needs some improvement. This should give you hope that you can get there eventually!

So I heard back from one of the publishers.  Apparently I don't know how to write sentences very well.  So, I am going to be doing some intensive editing on Simple Submission for the next couple of weeks.  I am sure I will get some burn out and need to write/update Delicious Discipline and Purely Primal but it may be off and on so stick with me guys, this is an exciting time!!!!!!

***Official Q&A thread from our talk with Sam and Nadia*** (I suppose if you want to ask me questions you can.)  Start posting your questions we'll go for a while, until the questions dry up I suppose!

@AliciaCCTX Thank you for your honest answer. Have a good night!

*Nadia*:  My body hair does in fact bother me some, I don't know that I would be doing it for Sam if I did change it.  I guess, just given that his lifestyle is much more...open...it would be, in a way, for him.  Then again, would having a woman in a miniskirt whose legs were covered in red welts and bumps be any sexier than a bit of hair.......

@AliciaCCTX I apologize for the lack of good timing my last(I swear it it) question. Nadia, I asked Sam if he would ever want you to change your own appearance. He said no. This is for you, the lovely female lead in this story. Would you ever want to change your appearance for Sam? You've grown to a point where you are comfortable with your hair, but yet extremely uncomfortable when it comes to people's view on it. Would you, as a person, want to put yourself through the possible pain of changing your body for him? I'm not saying in the case if he were to ever ask it of you. I'm asking if you would do it without any influence indicating he would want that change.
