I GOT THE CALL!

#1 Post by Vandal » Thu Apr 03, 2008 8:21 pm

Actually, I got the e-mail.

An agent from a major NYC literary agency is interested in The Memory Box. She and the owner of the agency want to talk with me on Monday. From what I've heard this is typically to make sure the author is not a raving lunatic.

No one ever said I was raving.

Folks, it must have been the major vibage you bestowed upon me and NYC last December and I thank you for that.

It's not a done deal (they may want me to make some plot changes before accepting) but it's a good deal.

I kept sending it out because the rejections didn't really bother me. Future wallpaper.

Never give up. Never surrender. I've heard that somewhere...

I'll let you know how the chat goes on Monday. If you look up and see my feet sticking out of the clouds, please pull me down gently.

And, yes, I will breathe.

PM me if you want more details.

Good news indeed! Good luck on the phone call. Try not to blather. And remember he's from New York. No Red Sox talk.
I just ordered chicken and an egg from Amazon. I'll let you know.

When I saw the header of this post, I was hoping that this was going to be what it was about!!


I am really excited for you! It is a terrific story and I have all appendages crossed that I will soon be able to buy the book (I will expect it signed, of course...!)

MOST excellent!!!

Thanks, everyone. Now I get the whole weekend to prepare. My writer's forum has some info on what an agent will ask me and what I should ask her.

I'll be ready. They will call at 5 PM.

I'm liking New York a little more everydayl

But not the Yankees.
