This Can't Really Be Happening . . .

My agent is sending out my MS tomorrow! And this afternoon she sent me the list of editors she's sending it to and, I'm not going to mention names, but not only is it going to the top seven fantasy companies in the country, it is going to the top editors at those companies!

I am so waiting for someone to pop out from behind a bush and say, "Just kidding!" Hell, I still can't believe I have an agent and I have the signed contract!

I am so excited! . . . and trying to prepare myself for tortuous wait ahead! Aaaahh!

I'm cheering for you :e2cheer:

, and hoping you will be one of the lucky ones who lands a quick publishing deal.

As I disappear into the abyss of my 12 week novel revision workshop, I need to know you are out there climbing up the ladder to publication. It's a momentum thing, group karma, call it what you will, but I really get charged up when I hear of the successes of fellow AW'ers.

Pisarz · Feb 27, 2007

Wow--I can't even imagine that feeling! Here's hoping your agent pops out of the bush to say, "Sold!" and hands you a pen to sign on the is-this-really-happening dotted line!
