Well…
The queries are still going out…
And I was feeling mighty confident until…
I stumbled upon the agent…
Who represents Stephen King.
(I love Stephen King)
As I stared at his book, 11/22/63 on their website…
I felt humbled…
And then…
From the recesses of my brain…
I could almost hear Pennywise…
The wisecracking clown from It…
Taunting me from his sewer grate...
”So you think you’re worthy?
This agent represents the “King”…
Do you really think...
your humorous women’s fiction…
Is worthy of being on a bookshelf with him?”
“Well, I think….I mean…uh…well…
And before I could analyze any furth
My computer hit the ‘send’ button and off it went.
“Huh?”
“Oh, for heaven’s sake!" My computer glowered...
"you don’t need to analyze this.”
“But I wasn’t ready!”
“Yes, yes you are. You’ve been ready...
Quit being such a wuss. And quit comparing.
No, you're not King, but you're You...
And You is good."
So?
When you submit/submitted…
Are there some agents…
That intimidate you more?
Or are they all intimidating no matter what?”
Always, Em-Musing
