Looks like you learned some great things about the agent and editing process.<br /><br />I'll look forward to Wednesday's post about looking at writing as more than a hobby! So, now it's back to the WIP?? <br /><br />Have a great week!Jody Hedlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12424307540530719614noreply@blogger.com
