OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

Quick!Agent just asked for my complete manuscript and a three week exclusive.

*faints*

Must remain realistic. Must remain realistic. Must not get hopes up. Must not hyperventilate. Must remember how to type and breathe.

OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG.

Way to go! I wish I had a bouncy elephant icon or some such for you, I'm so thrilled!

Good luck. It's okay for hopes, though, hopes are good, and make up for so much of the other.

Congratulations :)

Hooray! That is very cool. I am also assuming this is a big agent, since you started at the top of your list, right? So double congrats. I will keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks! It's nice to know someone else thinks that that yanno, isn't my friend. Though your opinion matters a lot because your writing > mine. :)

Thanks!

Well, I don't know what counts as a big name agent or not. I do know that the books she's represented are books I read and really liked and that she's made some really good sales and she seemed very receptive to new writers with strong voices.

But for those reasons, she was actually the second or third on my list, IIRC, and I was really thrilled with her responding quickly, because I'd totally love to work with her.

I dunno. Vermont was PRETTY DAMN AWESOME. I mean, first Iowa (and who saw that coming, I mean *IOWA*, but still. How awesome is that?) and then Vermont. Only 46 states and Puerto Rico to go and we'll live in a truly free land!

Today is a VERY GOOD DAY!

Oh, I am totally hyperventilating in joy. I'm also hyperventilating in the sense of putting lots of chocolate in my piehole, but I figure, just this once!

Thanks!

Thanks! It's nice to know we can go into respiratory distress together! :)

I totally love your icon, btw! :)

Thanks! And I am allowing myself some hope, but I'm just making sure that I'm not so far up in the clouds that crashing back down to Earth will hurt.

But still, I'm really psyched. And I'm glad you're psyched for me. You've really been a help to me, you and so many others. So just know that you cheering me on helped this happen!
