So I know what you're thinking. It isn't even New Year yet, so why start now. Well, why not? I know what I'm planning so why wait? Actually, I'm planning nothing. I'm way too spaced out to plan anything in advance.
Speaking of having nothing planned in advance, while I was sitting here I just came across the little metal card case that has the cards of a bunch of agents I met at a conference a few years ago. I opened it up and I had submitted to all of them and they all rejected me. Yeah. So...
But it's a lot easier to look at that now that I do have an agent. Yes, it happened. But I have a hard time telling anyone and I'm practically seizing up writing it here because I somehow imagine talking about it will make it all go away. Like some sort of fairy tale where the person is having a wonderful time and all of that and then says the wrong thing and poof! the whole party disappears leaving the person standing out in the cold and mud and wearing nothing. So that's the last I'll talk about that until there is more to be said, just in case. The short update is someone was crazy enough to like the novel, says he'll represent me and has even gone so far as to submit it to a whole bunch of places. It's been rejected once that I know of already, which is awesome. Too much success would go to my head and two people liking my writing in a one year span would definitely cause my ego to inflate to scary proportions.
Other than that, I started taking an EMT class and just recently learned CPR. So now I can crush people's ribs and claim I know what I'm doing. More on that later, I'm sure. In the meantime, I actually wrote something on the blogosphere so millions and millions of people can not read it. Really, blogs are such a weird phenomenon. But here it is. Go me.
