Big Kid Agent Wants A Call

"Big Kid" agent is "curious" and wants me to give him a call. I'm nervous about it, because I know I'm going to have to pitch this in a way that will make him want to read it, without having it feel like a rehearsed pitch, and that's tough. But, I'm going to go into it with the attitude that it's a strong book and hopefully that energy and confidence will shine through. I just have to clear my mind a bit first. It's been a long, tough week in a lot of ways, and I really need to find a good place before I talk to him, since I'm pretty burned out right now.

I accidentally picked up a copy of Writer's Digest at the school library last week. I was talking to the librarian, and when I picked up my papers to leave, it must have been on the counter under them. It's actually a really interesting magazine, and now more than ever, it has information that I can really use. I remember looking through it once before, but since it's all on the publishing end, I really didn't find much there that worked for me. This month's issue has a whole article on the best website resources for writers, and I'm already finding some interesting things there. Of course, I'll have to bring the magazine back at some point, but it feels like some odd gesture on the part of fate that I ended up with it. Either the universe is trying to tell me that I'm on the right path, or that I really need to do some reading and research before I put myself out there further.
