I loved your post. I'm sure ther...Hey Katrina<br /><br />I loved your post. I'm sure there is the perfect agent out there for you somewhere.<br /><br />Unfortunately I'm one of those people you dream of but secretly hate. I hooked up with my publisher without an agent (first book, first publisher, first pitch). Last week I pitched book #2 to her it went well. I guess I'm up to the Second Date (she's agreed to read the whole thing). It definitely feels like the same thing. I'm waiting for the call. How long do I wait? How long is polite?<br /><br />Now if a "nice" author like you goes through an Agent - what does that make me (Eek!). How can I keep it safe? Maybe I need my Dad to keep an eye on me - but wait - I am a Dad! (Hmm that DOES sound like something I would write...).<br /><br />Keep posting! My guess some likely Agent/Publisher will see your fame on come along in no time.<br /><br />Cheers.<br /><br />P.@Pete_Da_Boarderhttp://twitter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8571939125765761515.post-38369192570703881362010-07-17T16:28:57.048-07:002010-07-17T16:28:57.048-07:00Brilliant metaphor, Katrina!

We underpublished writers can encourage each other through the crazy serial dating years, and your comment really made my night!<br /><br />M.J. - Thanks for the luck. My YA paranormal romance will need it. ;-)<br /><br />amkuska - Glad you enjoyed it. Link to your blog when you're done.
