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

[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.
