Huh

It's been less than a month and the first agent I sent my book to (my top pick) sent me a really nice letter, praising the writing (they called it "very strong") and the premise of the book very strongly, and wanting the first 100 pages, plus a chapter outline. I am NOT READY. But is anyone ever ready? I did sit down and work on the all-important first chapter, which is not as good as I want it to be. Then I could not sleep last night, and today did motherly duties. So, tomorrow, after writing group and dance, I will be down in the office, working. I'll probably do nothing but work all weekend--I promised to send the material by Wednesday (again, the full moon--howwwwl). BUT--this evening, Mr. Strega and I went to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory; I badly needed to get out and have some fun--and it was! It's a great film!

Goodnight!
