I don't know why I always get so far ahead of myself. Within three days of sending out a revised query, I've received five partial requests and one full request from an agent I'm told is very reputable and comes "highly recommended" on P&E.
My mother doesn't know anything about the publishing process (and I'm a fledgling myself) is telling me I should get a lawyer to look over my agent contract, but I don't even HAVE an agent contract. I don't even have an offer for representation.
I keep thinking, what if all these requests turn into a no? What if a lot of them turn into a yes and I have to choose, and I make the wrong choice? What if I hate the cover art and there's nothing I can do about it?
I'm terrified.
Someone distract me. I need a hug or a straightjacket, or maybe a hug from a straightjacket.
Talk to me. About something. Anything. What's the velocity of an air laden swallow?
