Yeah, isn't it weird, how it's SO hard to accept that someone actually likes our work and wants to get it sold? lol I mean, I've always HOPED it would happen, but I'm just so used to hearing "no," or to being "realistic" about my odds that I guess I never fully believed it could happen.<br /><br />Good luck wiht yours too!Traci Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708393153242672277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471605774458166134.post-25697406884986609302010-10-22T11:49:48.101-07:002010-10-22T11:49:48.101-07:00I know EXACTLY how you feel.

I just got an agent who loves the project yet am working on the edits and am so scared she'll just say, 'sorry, it's not working/it's not good enough' etc.<br /><br />Good luck with the edits! You'll do fine :)Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14089899896564425937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471605774458166134.post-13920932397510603682010-10-22T06:04:31.768-07:002010-10-22T06:04:31.768-07:00Oh, and this blog has been really wonky the past f...Oh, and this blog has been really wonky the past few days.

This is all so new to me that I'm having trouble viewing my writing from a new angle. <br /><br />April, thanks! Yes, that's exactly the feeling - just...different. Odd, almost. Not the feeling you really expect. <br /><br />I think another reason I'm a little more "calm" about all this is because I know that having an agent STILL doesn't guarantee publication - and - I'll definitely be experiencing rejection, too, as part of that process. My journey to getting an agent has definitely prepared me for that aspect of it, *giggle*Traci Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708393153242672277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471605774458166134.post-38206423093500437362010-10-22T05:40:34.280-07:002010-10-22T05:40:34.280-07:00I missed the agent post too! congratulations!

Not that you regret it, but I guess because you go from working for yourself to working for someone else, basically. With deadlines and stuff.<br /><br />Anyway, good luck! This is fantastic news!April Plummerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12000526454256802504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1471605774458166134.post-8194246486638234092010-10-22T00:44:24.173-07:002010-10-22T00:44:24.173-07:00First, congratulations :-) I clearly missed the ag...First, congratulations :-) I clearly missed the agent post. <br /><br />Good luck with the edits. It's understandable that work only ramps up. As an unpublished, unagented author, we do what we can, but with an agent, you are finally "In the business" trying to make sure the book will compete with all the other books. No wonder it's hard work. <br /><br />However, I am thrilled for you. :-)Dollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08144739453424963436noreply@blogger.com
