From a note from my S.A.M. ~
“I really, really loved your new novel!! Wow, what a different sort of novel for you. I gobbled it right up. I’d be most happy to send this to [Editor E] in due time. I think your description and comparison to those novels [The Exiles by Hilary McKay, The Penderwicks, by Jeanne Birdsall, and a few Beverly Cleary books] is apt to a certain extent…”
Well, it’s not yet sold, but my agent does not tend to be an over-emotive, over-reacting kind of guy, so if Mikey likes it… well, I feel REALLY, really good about that.
I’ve feared in the past being limited to one kind of writing — I’ve been afraid that my editorial house only wanted one kind of book from me, people only wanted to SEE one sort of thing of mine, but I tell you — reading about new projects from authors in general and this month’s highlighted authors of color recently has really inspired me.
I’m just so excited at the moment. ::happy dance!::
Okay. Better go call the man, he’s waiting…!
