Dream Literary Agent (DLA)


Day Six and counting... and what have I accomplished? Well I feel good that I've stayed on track and haven't taken my eyes off the prize. With my "real" job (real estate agent) taking quite a bit of my time at the moment (I have a time-consuming closing coming up), it hasn't been easy to do my book work consistently. But I am staying organized and therefore focused. That feels great!

What's been even better than that is how my family and friends have come through with contacts. My sister Lesesne (the character "Selina" is based on her in my novel) asked her supper club "who do you know" and it turns out that one of them is a published author of travel books! It goes to show that you just never know. And my good friend Linda who will have her second novel published by Random House (Random House!) in the spring of 2011 has put me in contact with her agent who actually may be interested in reading my manuscript.

So it's been a very good six days. Thanks to all my friends and supporters. It truly takes a village.
