As some of the others said, thanks for taking the time to share this with us. May I ask a question? If I overlooked this in the archives, my apolgies. What kind of timetable did you experience with the agent search? Also, why is LOTTERY not going by the more usual 18 month timeframe to get it on the shelves?<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I think you've been indirectly referenced on Kristin Nelson's blog today. She was talking about themes which are over used. She used winning the lottery as one of those, but added "a lottery theme coupled with some other interesting and original element could potentially capture our attention." Interesting. Very, very interesting.<BR/><BR/>D.Dianthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13486606605604182396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-44255487570363441162007-04-23T14:36:00.000-10:002007-04-23T14:36:00.000-10:00What an awesome timeline.

You just can't let yourself get bogged down in negativity --which isn't to say that you don't take critical input, but that you do learn to discern the good from the bad, the generous from the toxic. Sort of like me and shellfish. I stay away from shrimps. <BR/><BR/>Great schedule. Go go go! I'll look forward to seeing you in June.Kananihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317494343177263398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-15207513635385522452007-04-23T06:54:00.000-10:002007-04-23T06:54:00.000-10:00It seems compact when looked at in a list like thi...It seems compact when looked at in a list like this but I assure you there was much illusion of time passing slowly with nothing much happening!<BR/>This time line would have been significantly more leisurely if my book release was the more typical year to 18 months after acquisition.ORIONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01534064935115027523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35256059.post-40553528495485537232007-04-23T04:54:00.000-10:002007-04-23T04:54:00.000-10:00Pat,Thank you for putting that calendar of events ...Pat,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for putting that calendar of events down for our benefit.<BR/><BR/>It is much more of a compact schedule than I would have expected.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations again, and be sure to enjoy every positive step of your journey. There are so many times in Life when things don't go the way we want them to that when things go well we should appreciate them.<BR/><BR/>Last night in fact, I opened a bottle of champagne because I was able to connect a good friend of mine with an awesome ghostwriter to help her with her memoir. That's not a genre I have experience in and knew that she needed someone else.<BR/><BR/>Due to some pluckiness on my part, I approached someone fabulous via email, made a compelling case about my friend, and she decided to sign on with my friend over a different client she had been considering.<BR/><BR/>(I don't want to jinx things just yet by giving specifics, once they have a contract signed I'll crow about this good news for my friend.)<BR/><BR/>So anyway, I not only celebrate when I reach some positive milestone, but pop open champagne with dinner when my friends have good fortune as well.<BR/><BR/>Le Chaim!<BR/><BR/>LindaLinda C.
