So... It Happened.
Today is my birthday, but don't worry about getting me anything, peeps. I already got one of the best gifts I could've asked for.
A couple posts ago, no one could've convinced me that my beloved manuscript would ever find itself in front of an agent who loved it as much as I did.
But I was proven wrong in a big way when not one, but two agents offered representation on it last week. I was floored, ecstatic, panicked, and everything else in between, as I'm sure you can imagine.
After speaking to both on the phone, and after much spazzing, hyperventilating, and maybe even some dry heaving, I made my choice.
And so, peeps, I'm sharing the news that I'm officially off the market.
But, because I'm still not quite convinced that this isn't all a dream, that's all I'm going to say for now :)
Have a great weekend everyone!
