This is the part of my life I call dancing on clouds...

I sent a query off 4 months ago to a New York Agent, and frankly I've been having so much fun with my wonderful author gal pal self releasing my books I forgot that I did it. Then into my email I get a note saying that she really enjoyed The Girl on the Half shell, but she can't represent self-published books. If I have anything else, please send to her.

OK, I'm the crazy lady with 24 finished unpublished books. I wrote back: I have 24 completed is there anything in particular you're shopping for?

She went to Amazon and read my author bio. Return email: Holy Moly, you do have 24. I'm capped out. I can't take on that much work, but send me an inventory and I'll take it to the main agent, the owner.

So last night I spent hours writing 24 short synopsis and an inventory of work. It was a little scary when I saw it on paper. Did I really do all that while working and raising my girls. I didn't even realize what it would look like on paper. But anyway off it went at five in the morning.

I'm dancing on clouds today. It's not because I think something will happen. It's because I enjoy the journey and if there is a touch of magic sprinkled along the way, it makes it all the better. Even if she passes on all 24, today was a pretty fine day, and I've still got my marvelous author gal pals and I'm still releasing two novellas in August and someone read and liked my work today. Heck, four months ago I didn't even know how to write a query and the wonderful Morgan Richter taught me that. I feel like I'm "winning" just by having met so many marvelous young women authors! I'm laughing on my journey and enjoying it thanks to them! Laughter is a marvelous thing....
