Well, I did that. Now what?
I’m so grateful to everyone who stopped by and gave me such great support. One of the wisest things a prospective agent said to me when I started this project was “I like coming-of-age stories, but my experience has been that they’re almost impossible to sell. So you don’t want to get lumped into that category. You need to signal as early as possible in the book that something more is happening.”
Granted, this person hadn’t read the entire book. Hasn’t seen this blog. Has no idea what my something more is. I have to admit, up until I sat down and started receiving such encouraging feedback from all of you—Anacondans especially, I didn’t know what my something more was.
Now I do.
