I am signing the contract today and woot! I will then be a (drumroll!) Officially Represented Author. Heh. Hard to believe, honestly…now all I have to do is (1) finish editing the novel and (2) send her the edited version and (3) wrestle with it til we both love it (but she ALREADY loves most of it! which is why she wants to represent me) and (4) wait for her to sell it to a publisher, assuming she can. Uncertainty still abounds, see..?

But you have to admit, this is still several pretty damn cool steps in the right direction.

So one of the agents I queried has written back and said she would be “VERY HAPPY!” to review my novel!!!

Later I will sternly remind myself that she may still totally hate the thing in its entirety and the fact that she is expressing interest in it really doesn’t mean that much–the agency has a blog where they say they receive over 150 queries a week and only accept 25 of them at the most, which means I did hit the good end of the odds already! BUT this is still no guarantee that the novel itself will catch fire with them, so to speak. So, no getting overexcited here, folks–calm, cool and collected, that’s me.

Ha! Who am I kidding? I’m E-C-S-T-A-T-I-C!

Really, though, I won’t lose touch with reality. This may all turn out to be nothing much in the long run.

But it’s still pretty neat. And it is a step in the right direction!
