Letter from Bonnie To Sara (have been asked to publish)

Sara, I’ve been exactly where you are! Thing is, as great as the conversation was with “amazing agent”…as much as you connected, she’s not obsessing over when you get this ms to her.
If you take a little longer…that’s ok. And if she says no…not this one…send me more…then that’s ok too.
I remember coming home from a con once and basking for two solid weeks in the glow from an agent saying: “You have so much potential!” I was so thrilled at all this potential that I stopped dead. LOL
Anxiety is related to good stuff just as much as bad…so, (and I’ve never met you so I’m really out on a limb here) just get your head on straight again and realize this was a good conference for you…not the *only* conference for you.
and this will not be your *only* chance to wow this agent with your writing.
It’s the *first* chance.
Be cool, write well, tell good stories.
Bonnie
