Dreams

Remember this post, in which I vowed to keep writing and not give up?

Well I did it.

And then I submitted my query letter and writing sample to a whole bunch of agents. And got a whole bunch of rejections. So I made some edits and tried again.

[RINSE AND REPEAT]

And then…

[INSERT MORE HARD WORK HERE, and maybe a little bit of luck, and...]

VOILA!

Today I signed with a literary agent.  A real one.  In New York City!

After I outline the next two books in the series, he’s going to start shopping it around to publishers.

CAN YOU BELIEVE IT????!?!?!?!?!

 All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~Walt Disney

Funny tweets

I have a confession. I’m totally hooked on Twitter. The short format makes you get to the point… now and makes for some of the most pithy, funny, laugh-out-loud commentary I’ve seen.

Here are a few of my favorite examples from the past few months:

“I” before “e” except after “Old MacDonald had a farm”  @meganamram

“Imagine when paper was invented and people said, “It’s just not the same as reading on that dead sheep skin.” -Barbara Kingsolver @penguinusa

Every week with a toddler is like that scene in JURASSIC PARK where the velociraptors learn to open doors. @ChuckWendig

“Oh, you won a gold medal for running 100 meters? We just landed a car on Mars.” Nerds:1 Jocks:0 @mike_critz

If you see or tweet something funny, make sure and send it my way!  You can find me on Twitter at @bananas.
