A second agent has put in a bid for Molly. Damn, now I must send at least one agent a rejection.
I'm thinking "Not for me."

Yay, Vandal.
If you decide to be more wordy, make sure you use words/phrases such as "unfortunately," "truth be told," "this is just one author's opinion"

Woohoo, Vandal!!!!!!!!! Remember to include "I'm sure another writer will feel differently."
(I snark now, but damn I hated writing rejection emails.)

Woo hoo Vandal! That is awesome! And yes, it is actually hard to have to reject an agent...A hard I wouldn't have traded for the alternative, but hard nonetheless. =) I recommend a "pros/cons" list!
*pokes the universe gently* Another sale, please. Think of the children! (You know, the son I already have, and the baby I'd like to have next year.

yay vandal! congrats!!! also include: publishing is a subjective business and make sure to sign it "KEEP AGENTING!"
ditto ink it was hard to say no to an agent when all you want people to say to you is YES!

It's the small victories.
Amen! And a belated congrats on turning those 6 chapters into 10. You're working it!
Vandal - glad you have options, hon. I bet it won't be long before the editors are fighting over you.
Details are in the Goals and Accomplishment forum, folks.
I must thank my fellow Pitizens (and SPitizens) for all their support. You are truly an incredible group of writers.

WOOT! for Vandal and Kellion!
The biggest news I have here is that I DIDN'T kill my children when taking them in to Sephora. The saleswomen were obviously horrified at how fast three kids could mix up all the eyeshadows.

CONGRATULATIONS VANDAL! Outstanding news!
Kellion!! Yes!!
I'm writing this from a Via Rail train on the way to Toronto to meet my agent who is flying in today from London, Eng. and we're having lunch tomorrow with my publisher.
This is good news. So why do I feel a bit queasy?

Mercy, maybe you have a hard time believing good things will happen. But they are happening, my friend! Try to enjoy and be sure to sip ginger ale and nibble on dry toast during lunch.
