The part that struck me the most was that you knew, deep down, that your story was good.<br /><br />That's a feeling that a lot of writers have, even when it's untrue, but when you're self-critical and open to suggestions like you seem to be and you're still confident, that's a very good sign indeed. Again, congratulations and good luck.David Dittellhttp://alphabetsoupkitchen.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-59955062304189906012009-04-28T12:08:00.000+01:002009-04-28T12:08:00.000+01:00What an interesting post.

I'm at the stage where having rewritten a piece of work I'm now waiting for a response from an agent. Many thanks for the bad agent comment. They say it's harder to find an agent than it is a publisher so I'm taking both routes too. Good luck Julie. I'll be following the story of Devil's Gold.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5519912440753252776.post-11593929592015584592009-04-16T13:29:00.000+01:002009-04-16T13:29:00.000+01:00I think my 3Ps have Peed off.

I am still on the agent hunt. <br /><br />However, I have to say that I'm receiving a lot of interest and requests for my next book in the series which will wrap up as soon as I can figure out how to release Cassidy from the impossible situation she's found herself in. Partials of this book are out to several really well known agents. I'm hopeful.

Will look out for next instalment. One question. At what point did the (bad) agent enter? And do you now have a new one?

Actually, your telling of your story was revealingly clever in itself: despite the fact that we all knew what the ending was going to be, and despite the fact that I didn't have a practical need to know what the secret of your ultimate success was, I still felt compelled to read every word. And I would love to read Devil's Gold. So I'm going to try to win one! Well done and good luck.
