pbraySome may recall my recent blog entry about meeting C, an aspiring writer. During our conversation, I'd given her notes with links to information I thought she might find helpful.
Tonight I took my biking partner Stacey for dinner at The Lost Dog. C was there, and rushed over to tell me that she'd looked at the link, found that she felt really in tune with one of the agents, and had sent off a e-query. The agent had just asked to see the first fifty pages of C's novel. C was ecstatic and naturally I was thrilled for her. I told her I would cross my fingers and wished her all the best. It was a great feeling--I talk to many aspiring writers at conferences, but since I rarely see them again, I never know if my advice has been helpful. In this case, I know that what I said was both useful and appreciated.
In other news, I'm off on the bike trip. No laptop, no internet, so radio silence for a while. Expect me to return with tall tales and, if you're lucky, incriminating photographs.
