Currently Listening To: My Jack Russell tapping around the house.

Currently Reading: Nothing, sigh, I'm still waiting for Breaking Dawn to come out on Saturday.

My revisions are going well. I've hit a wall a few times over the past couple of days, but I think I've made it through. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm so anxious for Breaking Dawn to come out! It's awesome that 2 Stephanie Meyers books have come out this year! The Host was excellent, with 2 very compelling love stories.

The next book that I'm really looking forward to is The Temptation of the Night Jasmine, by Lauren Willig. Every book she writes is better than it's predecessor.

Anyway, enough blabbing about books I want to read...Let's move on to the books I'm writing!

I am attempting to make my novel less literary (I was surprised to hear my novel is literary!) and more commercial. Things are going well. I've set a goal for myself (timeline) and I'm very confident that I will meet it. I found a beautiful drawing on Deviantart.com of Romola Garai yesterday. It's exactly what I imagine my main character as. It was done by AngelAvril. Check out her page here: http://angelavril.deviantart.com/art/Romola-Garai-35479215 . Here's how I invision Imogene:

I HAVE AN AGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle Andelman from Andrea Brown offered me a contract yesterday! I'm so excited! She's really nice, and has some wonderful ideas on how to improve my novel. I'm so grateful to God for this. It really is such a blessing, and gift! I know how many people want agents, and he steered me toward the one that is perfect for me.
