Congrats -- but aren't you terrified a little? I remembr my first contract and it was seven pages long. I couldn't understand anything and started second guessing ever paragraph. ("They want what!? No way!!")

I finally talked to an experienced, published author in my town (she was very nice -- I barely knew her but she agreed to help me) and she basically said "Relax. This is all standard stuff."

Terrified? Not in the slightest. This is the 4th or 5th of these bad boys I've had, and my agent and I have gone through it clause by clause (all 22 pages)... nothing to fear at this point!

Thanks for the congratulations, everyone - this is gonna be a fun one!
