I love my agent.

Just got this email from Jewelann:

Hi Linda,

Thought you would like to know I have sent queries out to Harlequin, Berkeley, and Kensington so far. Nothing yet from Harlequin, Berkeley has requested a partial and the synopsis (which has been sent) and…….Kensington has requested the FULL. Which has been sent. Along with the synopsis, of course.

That’s it so far.

Jewelann

I'm sure you can hear the high-pitched squealing from where ever you are!

Back to work.

Today, I officially started on The Sequel (title still unknown, sorry). I've had several outlines, plots, and ideas for this book, but since I changed the ending for Dracula's Secret, I had to start completely from scratch.

I don't worry about all the previous work because I've found that writing is never wasted. I know it'll be useful, and most likely sooner rather than later. :)

And to top it off, I found my plot! I'm not going to announce it yet, because things can always change (and usually do), but for now, I have an road map for myself. I also started in on my GMC charts.

And that makes for a very very good day. :)

Wow.

Last night, I finished the final polish on my manuscript - getting rid of pesky extra quotation marks and strange pronouns.

Today, I finished my synopsis.

Five minutes ago, I emailed everything to my agent.

WOW!!!

Now, should I extend my vacation, or start in on my next projects???

Back to work.

I met with my agent this morning. All I have to do is tidy up my synopsis and we will be ready to start shopping this beauty.

I'll let you all know how it goes. :)

Whew!

Only four days into my vacation and I'm feeling full of vim and vigor! I've gone out, met people, and thought a lot about what I want to do for my upcoming projects.

I wonder what the rest of my time off will bring!

YES!!

Today, I turned my completed manuscript in to my agent, Jewelann Cone of Atlantis Literary Agency.

This is a big milestone, so I'm going to celebrate for the next week!
