Greetings Fellow Writers,
Thank you for sharing on this board. I read your posts all the time for comfort and help.
I am happy to FINALLY write that I have a real, deal literary agent with a contract in hand. I am not counting my pennies or on my way to the bank to make a deposit just yet for I know that he may not be able to sell the work because there are no guarantees in an author's world however I will "hope" for the best until told otherwise for this is the closest I have ever been to becomming a published novelist.
I wrote a heartfelt, truthful letter to an author who has 30+ books that I felt had a kindred spirit to my work and he recommended me to his agent who said his author only recommended one, if that, new author with promise to him a year.
I had never done this before and it has been the most wonderful experience for me. Even if he is not able to sell my work, I believe that I am a better person already just by knowing him and working with him.
Don't give up on your dream of becomming an author or finding an agent. It has been the most difficult journey of my life and I suspect it has only just begun.
May God bless you everyone with all good things today and always!
