Awww, thanks so much, everyone! I'm sure all my posts are kind of spastic, but I'd once told myself to keep an open mind that I may never find an agent. So, this came as quite a shock!

And, if anyone else reads this, I'd like to share how much of a fluke landing my agent was. I misread her PM page and thought she represented MG fantasy. Only after her request for the opening chapters did I realize she ONLY represents YA... well, with one MG thrown into the mix now.

It was a bit of destiny or something that I misunderstood her preferences, because she saw something in my book even though it was out of her taste. (And she said she couldn't be more excited about it!!!)

That extra excitement from the agent seems like the best thing for a writer. WooHoo!

LOL, better than finding my picture under delusional... which I feared for a while there!

And yes, Jud, I'm proof that there is hope! So don't give up :)
