a book proposed

Today, I emailed my book proposal to my agent, who has been just lovely to me.

It's a strange, strange thing to propose a book. But now I've done and gone and proposed and sent my book-to-be out into the world like a new hatchling. My little fuzzy bookling is now in my agent's capable, virtual hands, and he'll tell me what, if anything, I need to do to it to make it marketable, which is a weird concept in and of itself. It's all very odd, and now I think I might go breathe heavily into a paper bag for about fifteen minutes until the room ceases its pointless spinning.

Just thought I'd share.

here's to doing it free for money!

Now that I've moved past bitterness, jealousy, (potential) Shadenfreude, and a sticky pile of self-loathing and regret, I can genuinely say congratulations and best of luck. Here's hoping you snag a big ole fat advance that enables you to keep yourself in the manner to which you are accustomed, or better. It couldn't happen to a finer or more dedicated writer.

Dude, I know the feeling parfait: bitterness, jealousy, potential shadenfreude, loathing and regret. It's a dish I've eaten early and often. Thanks for getting past your helping to wish me well, and if I can do it--and that still remains to be seen--you can too.
