Am I hooked or not hooked?

Many of you are also readers of my agent Kristin Nelson's wonderful blog where she gives a daily insiders look at the agenting biz. Priceless stuff. Yesterday, she told about participating in the "Secret Agent Contest" over at misssnarksfirstvicitm (a great blog for aspiring authors) where Kristin read and commented on 60 (count 'em 60) first pages over the weekend. She had the moniker "Secret Agent" so the aspiring authors entering the contest didn't know who was commenting on their stuff. Plus if you entered, you had to comment on at least five other entries. There are 60 entries, so there's a lot to wade through (scroll down to get to them all), but if one of those entries resembles your own writing, you might want to check out the comment section on that entry. It just might give you just the pointer you need to jumpstart your writing and your book.

Tomorrow, I'll tell you about the great way I've discovered to jump start my writing every night (maybe even with a photo). It's working wonderfully for me, and it might do the same for you.

Thursday, I'll tell you about getting "The Call" from Kristin offering to represent me, and "The Email" from Kristin telling me we had a two-book contract offer on the table.

I think I may have promised to post a short snippet from The Trouble with Demons on Saturday. Since I have my root canal & gum surgery on Friday, I guess I should pre-stage this one so all I have to do is click "send." ; )

Have yourselves a great day!
