Peeps….it has happened….I finally got a response from a literary agent that wasn’t a reject letter! It’s true! I mean, at least I don’t think this is a dream…..I keep checking to see if the email is still in my box…it is….it’s right there in black and white. So it must be real…right? She asked for the first 10 pages. Heart drops. Are my first 10 pages good enough to make her want the rest? It’s almost worse than getting a reject letter! Now I must wait to see if I’m good enough in 10 pages to be asked for the remaining 70 pages! This is going to kill me! I almost fell out of bed yesterday morning when I casually scanned through my email snuggled under my covers in the early morning hours. My husband ran to my rescue when he heard me gasp loudly. I scrambled for my glasses so that I could make sure I had read it correctly! I did. It was right there in black and white! One small drop of validation. Let’s pray that drop doesn’t dry up in a matter of minutes!!!
Breath held….fingers crossed…..

"About you"? It is hard to declare any one thing or even a few things that would be of any interest to anyone! I love God. I know that I am His child, and I waver between being totally overwhelmed with His love, grace and mercy in my life, to being overwhelmed with how fast life is passing and how bad a job I have done at living this life He has given me. I often wonder if anyone else is out there walking around trying to act normal (which, if I may insert here, is really a relative term to everyone...what is normal?). About me? I am complicated! I love God with all my heart and want to serve Him with all my heart and want to do something important with all my heart and yet, this life I live everyday, doesn't seem to line up with that. More than anything - I want to be a published writer. I want to have the time to go to places that are surrounded by the sound of crashing waves and breezes and just listen. Or, to sit on a deck of some remote cabin and listen to the whisper of God's voice in the trees. I wonder.....I wonder if those moments will ever come? View all posts by dana2day

Update…..just as I suspected….I wasn’t good enough in 10 pages to be asked for the remaining 80 pages of my book. Oh well….that drop of validation dried up fast!
