It's off!!!

Well, I finally sent my proposal to the agent. All that's left now it the crying I guess. I know the series will be of great interest and entertainment to kids of middle school age, so all that needs to happen now is someone with more clout than I ever had to agree with that point. It's daunting in some ways to send such an amateur and un-trained work off to an agent. So much of me thinks I have no business in the writing business, but I have so many stories I want to tell. This series is just on book 1 of at least 6 to finish telling this story, and I already have two others waiting to be told. It was refreshing to meet with an old friend of mine from college last Friday and tell him that I had written this book. In some ways it was reaffirming as it rolled off my tongue to state "I wrote a book." There wasn't much surprise from him- I guess because I have always loved to tell a story- but I enjoyed the element of saying "I wrote a book."

Now, I need to add to my phrase, "and someone wants to publish it!"
