I just finished sending out a query and just as I pressed the send button my phone rang. The caller ID said "Liquid Agents". Although I didn't recall ever sending anything to an agency with such a name, I nonetheless got excited over that one little word. Yeah...you know which one.
So, I answered the phone all formal-like and much to my chagrin was offered a job in California with a travel nursing agency. I declined, then laughed, then explained to the woman on the other end that I was hoping for a call of a different nature. She laughed too.
There was a short, awkward silence when finally I asked, "You don't happen to know any lit agents do you?".
Her answer: "No. If I did I would have had my novel published by now."
How friggin' funny is that?
I'm such a dork.
