- Go to I Don't Know What Got Into Me
azur, I, a manic depressive in some semblance of control, find your
bursting with ideas scary, but that's just me and my life.
Tea and some deep thinking about the essence of your truth would probably help you to pick and to focus, which is what I think that an agent needs to hear. NOT that I have ever had one nor have I EVER written anything for publication like you......but I do know about having too many ideas, and all of them great ideas.
I am cutting down my garden, like natives with forest machetes, I am forging ahead and shaping up this jungle place, but do I love the new order?? The drought has made me choose what I love more and what I must love, the native growth....kind of like book ideas and knowing which are more the real you?
What am I talking about? Dunno, but I'm late, I'm late for a very important gardening date.....and must absolutely throw out my new coffee maker. Must do that first.
I think that coffee brings on the wild ideas faster than just water and tea do. But, I want to do Everything that I am imagining at this moment, quick before I die or never finish. Coffee.
How wonderful that agents love talking with you and that you keep writing things which are written publically and read by hundreds, thousands, millions?!!!!!
I am lost in audio books and painting wild canvases full of rainbow colors....trying to get enough this month for a darned, well, enough whining. Coffee.
Congratulations and you go girl and all those other cheers. I feel my skin turning an envious shade of light green, I think.

Hello my dear Azur. You are so busy and I miss my blog so much! I am so pleased to come say hi! I wonder if the four book thing isn't a bit of an overload. sam

and go for it. Good Luck

Azur, this sounds like a good chance for you to take advantage of who
you know instead of what you know for a change. If you relax and use your interviewing skills, follow her lead about what she's interested in hearing from you, things could work out. At the very least, it's staying in touch. Your idea about taking a list along is a good one. Small steps, steadily forward. I'm eager to hear how it goes. :)pat

Think what you would be feeling/doing if you were him/her.
That will "inform" your meeting. Maybe the best thing for now is to make the connection and hint at the work...but be ready to go "business" if things go that way?
Good deal! Best of luck.
