Am putting finishing touches on an essay about the fine art of having (not getting) an agent. If anyone out there wants to add in a tidbit or personal note, please drop me a line before tonight! Credit will be given (or not, as you wish)!

What a brilliant idea! So much has been written about GETTING an agent, but this... I haven't any tidbits, but your uncannily helpful timing earns you an Awesomely if Unintentionally Apropos Mentor to Saladin virtual ribbon. Redeemable for one drink of the recipient's choice the next time our paths cross!

Where will we be reading this essay?

Looks like this may be the start of a limited series... mainly for the Liberty States Writersnewsletter, but I'll make sure they're available elsewhere, too.

If'n anything specific is missing from the essay and you want some filler, drop me an e. God knows, I've got tales, now that I'm on Agent #3. :)

I may drop this'un by you for a quick beta...

Just shot back to you. Let me know you got it, since my email's been wonky of late.

Hmm. Do you mean, a "I made this mistake so you won't have to" sort of tidbit? Or a "My God, it's full of stars!" tidbit?

And I thought that stalking was the way to go...

Neither, really. The first one is about how you relate to your agent in terms of time- and ego- management, the second will be how you recognize there may be trouble in paradise, and the third is probably going to be about the odd triangle of author-editor-agent.

There may be more after that -- we'll see how it goes.

Muppet puppy might fail the cute-off.

Muppet-puppy cannot fail. She smells better, for one. Also, she will not bite your nose.
