I just feel totally out of sorts about this. Let me count the ways...
1) I can't prepare, because I can't imagine what the phone conversation will even be about at this point.
2) I have some social-communication issues. To most people I seem normal, but I always feel like it's obvious how awkward I feel when talking to people face-to-face or on the phone.
3) When I'm nervous I talk to much. I have to try not to do this. I have a hard time expressing myself verbally. (If I can see my words I do much better, hence liking the written word).
A lot of this anxiety stems from having aspergers and then I worry no one will want to work with me because I won't have a good "normal" personality.
So I am a bit nervous. It's not like she's read my whole MS and loved it and I have that to fall back on. This phone call is probably about her getting a feel for ME.
She seems really nice, though.
The other issue is...
I found out that my emails were not going out and coming in on my old email, so I requeried agents who I hadn't heard back from. I put a note saying it was a requery and why. Well, after I heard from her, I checked out the comments section for her on query tracker and saw that I had noted a form rejection from her. (but I hadn't changed the status! STUPID ME!) So now I'm like--maybe she is calling me to tell her to stop querying her!
(But really, I was having email issues! Her email was one that had come through and I forgot to mark it. I feel like such an idiot now and I'm dying over here thinking I've upset her in some way!)
>>Clearly I have issues. I know this. I'm just trying to tell myself to chill the hell out.
I will keep you all posted. Thanks for the kind words and support. She seems like a really nice agent and I LOVE how she's had her hand in everything in this industry...she sounds like me in that regard (not that I have the experience, but I love everything about it--not just reading and writing, but spotting talent (which I do when I select writing partners...several have ended up published), editing (which people have offered to pay me for). I love writing most but sometimes I think--it'd be so neat to be an agent or publisher or editor.
Gosh, I'm rambling already.
