Decision Day: Agent Style

May 12, 2011 by rebekahlpurdy

So today is the day that decides everything. Okay, so I might be acting a little dramatic. LOL. It’s been a long week waiting for the remaining agents to get in contact. And by the end of the night, I’ll be able to say: “I’ve got an agent.” Four words, mind you, that I’ve dreamt of saying for years. And it still seems so surreal. Like at any moment I’m going to wake up. Might need someone to pinch me (but not too hard, my fair skin bruises easy—snicker).

In the coming days, I can’t wait to share my LOOOONG journey with you. The “almost there” moments, the heart ache, the excitement, the hard work, and of course the lovely ladies of my crit group who helped me along the way.

It’s so hard to fathom that my childhood dream is on its way to being fulfilled. See Mom and Dad, all those years spent curled up with books and notebooks (when I was supposed to be doing chores/sleeping/doing homework) totally paid off.

I hope you’ll all come back tomorrow and share my happy moment with me! ((HUGS)). OMG, I just realized tomorrow is Friday the 13^th. Hmmm…I hope I don’t see anyone with hockey masks lurking around my house (note to self: Do NOT wear high heel shoes tomorrow). That’d totally put a damper on things. Yeah, I know, that makes my life sound like a horror movie waiting to happen (LOL).

  HUGS right back, lady. Thanks so much for your encouragement. I so wish you lived closer (LOL). The UK is SO far away. Oh, and I’m going to be diving in to your chapter 12 today as well. Can’t wait. Rebekah L PurdyBlog: Writer Adrift

Lol, my daughter was born on Friday the 13th, so I assure you it can be a lucky day too!! I’m so excited for you. I know I’ve said that like a million times now but I mean it. Pinch yourself awake now and realize the full success that’s at your fingertips. All those years will pay off grandly. Here’s me sending you virtual roses, every color, with best wishes!! Get some sleep tonight and let us know how it goes tomorrow.

  Thanks Traci! You’re such a sweetie! LOL–see, the 13th can be lucky. Tonight is TVD night too! So everything will be perfect (except the blasted humidity).
  
  Will definitely post something/email everyone tomorrow with my good news…
