(Secret) Agent Man
So the agent I mentioned last week, who said he'd get back to me in a night or two, finally got back to me earlier today.
He hasn't finished the book yet, but he said he liked what he'd read so far, was still interested, and was going to continue reading tonight.
I'd been having a blah day up until I got that news. I was climbing the stairs leading out of the subway tunnel, and pulled out my phone to find that I had two new emails. I opened my email, and saw his name, and my heart about dropped into my knees. I had the 3G turned off my phone to help preserve battery, so it took forever for the page to load (in reality only like 45 seconds, but long enough for every possibility to flash through my mind). I was so anxious, that I couldn't even bring myself to cross the street. So there I am, standing on the street corner, the sign flashing walk, people bumping into me as they go around me, and I'm staring at my phone like it's going to tell me the date of the apocalypse.
What it actually told me was not quite apocalypse magnitude-- but certainly big news, and good news at that!
