My amazing CP, Robin, just signed with an agent. I am over the moon about this (whatever over the moon means, I think it's a good thing). You should go here or here to congratulate her. She absolutely deserves this. Her novel, LOVESENSE, is unique and funny with great voice and characters that I care about.
Robin also works harder than anyone I know. She wrote LOVESENSE last year during NaNoWriMo just a few days after the birth of her fourth child. I know, I could barely function with a newborn, she wrote a whole book while taking care of a newborn! She's extremely inspiring. You should go read her story. While it was a stressful, nerve-wracking week for her, it was delightful for me to watch agents battle for her awesome story.
In case you're keeping count. That is four of my CPs who now have agents. And, yes, I am the lone wolf still, barely, standing. But I have learned great things from these girls and their agents. And I'm so thrilled for all of them and am their biggest fan.
I'm curious, what are your stories to agent-hood? I love to hear the different ways people find their agents.
Robin seems like an really amazing person! She has accomplished so much! And I hope you don't get to feeling too bad about being the only one in your group without an agent. We are all on different paths. I've always been the type to love being unique, anyway, even if it means I'm "behind." In reality, you're going to get a really huge hurrah! when you do get an agent!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michelle. She does deserve this, and I appreciate your thoughts. While it isn't easy being left behind, I'm not in a position to be searching for an agent yet, so I'm good. It would be a lot harder if I'd been searching and searching.
DeletePlus, my girls are teaching me so much!
Saved the best for last! :0) I've no doubt you'll have an amazing story-to-agent-hood yourself. Take your time and know I'm cheering you on in ALL your writing endeavors. <3
ReplyDeleteYou are funny. And awesome. REally, this post was supposed to be about Robin, but you guys are all super nice.
Deleteditto what Ilima says. I can't wait until you finish the 3 best books ever and are snatched up. Thank you for believing in me*big hug*
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding Robin? You're awesome. Can't wait to read your book in print!

ReplyDeleteYay Taryn. Thanks for believing in me. And yes, I haven't, which is good. *sigh* someday.
DeleteEmily, you have helped us all on our journeys so much. I cringe to think of what my book would be without you. You are so not left behind; you are the one dragging us all ahead. And when your time comes, we are going to have one happy, crazy CP group dance! Love you!!
ReplyDeleteI will take credit for your book any day Katie! Just make sure I make the acknowledgments!
DeleteEmily, this isn't about agents, but it is about you. Thanks for your comments on my blog. I always look forward to hearing from you. And your blog is a joy--so full of light and live. Carry on.
ReplyDeleteAnn, as always, I'm honored. Thanks for you support and brilliance!
