I Did What?

I did it. I went to a writer's conference and pitched my book. I lurked, I lingered, and, thanks to some finagling, met with the aquisitions editor of an Alaska publishing house. He liked it! He really, really liked it!

The best part? After finishing up our assigned 15 minutes together, during which time AE said he was certainly interested, and could I give him more than one page sample (I did)....AND after AE said he'd be away for a few weeks, so not to worry if I didn't hear from him until July - He sent an email to me.

It said, among other things: "It was delightful to meet you (really? I didn't sound like a bumbling idiot?) at the XYZ Writer's Conference....I want to underscore our interest in your project."

Holy moly. Now I have to finish the damn thing.
