Mwah!

I promise not to talk about this too much, not to fall prey to hubris, not to act like an idiot, and any more news on this front will be quiet, contained, minimal. But just for this moment...

I have an agent!

Oh I know it doesn't mean much, mustn't expect too much too soon, the book may still be jettisoned from the eyes of uncaring publishers, but it is a start, it is a step. And I am so happy, I'm afraid my happiness may jinx the whole thing. To all aspiring writers out there, whoever you are, may we make it, really really make it. Now if you will excuse me, I must run around and kiss invisible people.

I may go to 14022006 to write Valentines messages of goo to everybody. Oh wait, you'll know it was me, so that's no good. I'll just send you kisses from here cos I love you, mwah! And you, mwah! and definitely you, mwah!...

It may be a small step, but is definitely a valuable and exciting one.

Whilst it is good to be adult and sensible about things, it is also vitally important to dance the dance of glee whenever it is possible to do so. Feel the happiness and the joy when it exists and worry about being serious later, there will be plenty of time to do that whilst you are finishing the writing (assuming you haven't do that just yet) and whilst you are waiting for stupid publishers to come back to you with the deal you deserve!

So for now ... Wheeeeee!

You've convinced me!

I will dance the dance of glee...but so's not to anger the hubris gods, I'll try to make it a little dance.

Wheee!

Well I guess you could always make it a dance of glee with a small diversion to appease the gods of hubris! Sort of a theme and variations! *grin*

I think one way to appease the gods of hubris might be to humbly concentrate on work I'm really bad at, like cooking or something...
