This is indeed really good news. Yes keep your feet firmly on the ground, but the agent did say make changes and we'll talk. They wouldn't have said that or wasted their time if they hadn't meant it. Go for it girl.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17472710036325451312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6110864254546219057.post-74186380756226684362008-09-26T21:01:00.000+01:002008-09-26T21:01:00.000+01:00Hi,for youwriteon - I'm think I'm going to re-edit...Hi,<BR/>for youwriteon - I'm think I'm going to re-edit my first ever Novel, send it. What do I have to lose.

(Got another rejection this morning - no room for an ego is there?)

Any personal communication is to be excited about and pursued.<BR/>Keeping my fingers crossed for acceptance by others but, if not, I hope you follow this up. All agents and editors love a writer who's flexible, open to suggestion and willing to rewrite and revise. <BR/>Good luck, Sandra.
