Third Time Lucky...

I haven't blogged or written anything for a while as I've been working crazy hours, seven days a week for the last couple of weeks. I'm sooo tired. The finger is better though - thanks for your concern about it!

I'll post more detail later, but in the meantime, a bit of news...

...an agent wants to read my kids' book!!

I got an email yesterday. She'd read my first 3 chapters and synopsis and wants me to send the rest! Yay!

Am thrilled. Knackered, but thrilled. Even if it comes to nought I'm hugely encouraged. Third time lucky indeed.

Let me be the first to congratulate you.

YAY YAY YAY YAY!!

And by the way your 'I keep expecting a pube to get into my manuscript' made me laugh out loud! I have long hair and I molt (sp?) something crohnic and so was really worried loads of my hair would get trapped between the pages of my MS and the agent would think "Hmmm, she's doing that old stick a hair in the MS to see if I've actually read it trick".

Am still not 100% sure my MS is hair free but it's gone now so *shrugs*

So glad there's someone else about to play the waiting game with me. Fingers crossed we both have good news very soon :o)

Ooh, that's wonderfully exciting! I'm really inspired at the mo to get mine finished, what with everyone else doing so stunningly brilliant.

Will be keeping things crossed for you.

Such happy news!

You must let us know as soon as you hear anything. I have limbs crossed for you and Cally so I am getting a bit numb.

Congratulations! That is so cool that an agent wants to read your book. I am sure it is fabulous.
You must keep us updated.

There must be something in the air. The racers seem to be doing well recently having agents interested in their work. Long may it continue.

Just popped over from the finishers after being absent for a bit. Again.

Well done! Fabulous news! Glad the finger is on the mend!

Better late than never... terrific news!!! I'm waiting to hear from agents too. And I'm currently updating my sidebar (a job I hate and procrastinate about for weeks, but do eventually get around to) so I should be dropping in here more often from now on.
