So, breezing over that little-read downtrodden blog post from yesterday, I can say now that today I met with th eliterary agent I signed up to sit down with at this writer's conference thing here in Austin and it went a lot better than I expected it to. She was great, and genuinely seemed interested in what I was doing. She loved the idea I pitched to her for the book I've been working on and told me to send her the full manuscript when I finish it, which should be in about 2-3 weeks. She also asked about my other ideas for future books so I told her about three or four other concepts that I've been jotting down over the past few years.

After I was done she sat back, smiled, and said, "Wow, you have a wonderful imagination." After asking for the manuscript, she gave me her card and told me to keep her informed about what I was working on and that she was "expecting great things" out of me. Needless to say, I'm a little excited....
