Thanks…

…for all the support and love. Having agents request material is a baby step, but it’s a step.

I resisted the urge to spend the night revising and rewriting, and, actually, finally, got a good night’s sleep–despite the mucus.

Today I plan to spend most of the day “around the water cooler.” Chatting with people casually is much more fun and productive than conferencing. There is a workshop on writing the perfect book synopsis that I will be soaking up.

So, only one other struggling writer whom I’ve talked to at this conference has small children–a guy. The demographics primarily fall into two categories: youngish folks who have yet to start on the procreation journey, and folks whose kids are older–high school or college age or beyond. My conclusion: raising children and writing books at the same time may be one of the crazier things I’ve done in my life. And I’ve done some crazy things.

    Yeah, ease into it. You don’t have any deadline. Nice news about Janus, E.M.

    Congrats and don’t worry about a thing. The cream always rises to the top. Of course, so does pond scum, but a good publisher is only successful because he or she can tell the difference.

    I have a feeling that great things are around the corner for you.
