First request by a literary agency

This has been a week that was exciting. Finding in my email inbox a request from an agency for my manuscripts. Baby and Buddy are getting evaluated and I hope this agency will take me on as a new author in children's books.

Today I received that my manuscripts were received and evaluation will take 2-3 weeks. I have my fingers crossed. I don't want to go the self [vanity published] route. Sure I can call myself published but am I really?

I want that legitimate claim of being handled by an agency, presented to a publisher, having them like my books and saying we want to publish your work. I didn't set out to be a writer. The thing is I have always been a idea person.

Ideas hit me all the time, most of them coming while doing some mondane thing and the thought of a better way comes up. Lot of times when I'm riding my bike these ideas form.

The book thought has been in my mind for a long time, but the ideas of a different story were there. Those ideas and those thoughts will come out in print later. I have formulated the ideas, I have the tools ready and some are already started or near completion.

This is cool.
