The roller coaster continues

In the spirit of dragging you along on all the highs and lows of my budding career, let me tell you about the latest email from MY AGENT.  Oh my word, do I love this woman. 

I’m having some trouble with the current publisher of my novellas, so I emailed her my contracts so she can look them over and give some advice, but that’s a story for another blog, a rather epic blog.  But I’m not here to talk trash.  Not today.

The email exchange today was wonderfully motivating.  She’d finally heard from the editor of one of my dream publishers.  Her opinion of my book?  “LOVED IT!”  The all caps were hers. 

How awesome is that?  This editor is a bit junior so she’ll have to sell her editorial board on it, but MY AGENT says I have the right to be “THRILLED”.  Again, the caps are hers. 

Understandably, the euphoria I’m feeling is overwhelming.  And motivating.  I want to call in sick every day for the rest of the year and immerse myself in the writing of book 2. 

And more exciting than that, is that there is still a Sr. Editor for another HUGE publisher that still has my manuscript.

Cross your crossables – there is still every opportunity for a bidding war!
