(not the same as revisions, but we have some of those too)
I'll be in NYC this weekend for various reasons, the most writerly of which include a weekend lunch with my agent to go over the last round of revisions and meeting up with Matt Cody, author of the upcoming Powerless, to coo over his newborn son. I'm told his amazing wife will be around as well, so that's a bonus.
The primary reason for the trip is, of course, to finish packing up the last of my fiance's things in anticipation of her move out to Denver next week. I can't describe how happy I am that we're finally at that dream-like future place that was always there and never here, and describing things is what I do for a living.
I have a literary agent. I may or may not link to some kind of website for the agency in question at some later date, but for now, I think I'll say only that they come highly (and often) recommended by a number of folks in the industry.
She uses words like "delighted" and "thrilled" and "formal representation" and "series." I like these words. I particularly like when they're pointed at me.
So... yeah. A big step.
I think I will let is count as my 'third sold story' of the year.
One of the book series editors that Kate and I have sold stories to in the past has, it seems, added us to the list of writers they solicit directly for upcoming anthologies.
It's a bit like being asked in for a reading by the studio rather than having to stand in line for the open auditions; definitely feels nice, but doesn't actually confer any assurance of a role.
Still, it's nice.
