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....

My computer is dead. I'm using a friend's for a while today. I'm getting a new one installed on Saturday. The Sox-Cubs games last weekend were like night and day compared to the week before. That's part of what makes sports so great. You can never predict anything very well.
The Cubs are a formidable team, maybe the best in the NL. I'm rooting hard for a third meeting in October.
Best of luck.
