So I think I hit a new point in my writing career today. Something’s been brewing the past few days that I was hesitant to talk about until I knew for sure. But I got an email from Sha Shana Crichton (agent), who I’d subbed to. The email said she wanted to call me. So the call didn’t actually happen until today, and I was on pins and needles the entire time. I had no clue which direction the conversation could go. But usually when an agent calls, these are what I was told the options are…
A. I’d like to show this to ___ (publisher) and I’d like to be your agent.
B. I’m interested in representing you for this project and all future projects
C. I love your voice, but there’s a few thing I feel you need to change to make this book work.
Guess which one it was for me? That’s right: C. I pretty much expected it. You see this book I wrote two years ago and was ready to shelve it once I got a rejection back. Only, she didn’t reject me, she called me. Ooooh the dilemma. So now I’m debating what to do. Rework a book that was written before I knew all the secrets on how to write a really good book? Or focus on the book I’m doing for NaNo, that I think is some of the best stuff I’ve written yet.
Regardless, Sha Shana said she’d like to look at any other completed books I have or that I may complete in the future. She’s a very sweet lady and had some great advice.
But until the end of the month my focus is Nano (hey I made a commitment!) and the book that’s stolen my heart 
Then I may make the changes in my vintage book. Or maybe finish up the Nano book, edit it, and then send that one.
It’s very thrilling though. To think I’ve sparked interest with a book that was written two years ago. What would happen if I subbed something fresh? That I wrote recently? Now that I know what deep POV is and other tricks.
So that’s where I’ve been the past few days! What have you been up to?
Picture of the day, I thought it was pretty appropriate with the democrats kicking booty in the elections! Can I get a heck yeah?! (Toning it down for the blog)
