ACfGD and boys
An agent asked to see more of my work today.
I still want an agent. I still think there are Big Things in store for Gracey and Love & War. But it's funny. Ever since I published this, I feel so much more confident than when I started the querying process. Now, if an agent rejects me, it's ok. I don' t feel like I can never get anywhere. I don't feel desperate for someone to validate me. And I don't feel like it has to happen *right now*.
Not that I doubt my ability as a writer. If I'm confident about nothing else, im confident in my way with words. (That, and being a fucking great mom.) But validation is important. Because there's more to success in publishing than being a good writer, Lord knows.
I joined a dating website. Oh, yes. I did. It's been scary. I met one guy. But he lives in Dallas.
Also, this guy that I was dating turned out to be a disaster. After 3 weeks he told me he loves me. GImme a break. It was also enough time for me to realize that smoking and being broke were high on my list of dealbreakers for the next guy. I tried to be friends with him, but he kept trying to kiss me.
Yuck. Deleted.
Being a grown up is a roller coaster, man!
