Hi Daisy,
It sounds like your agent is amazing! Hopefully one day soon I will have an equally amazing representative in the daunting world of publishing.
Thank you for the heartfelt encouragement you left on my blog last week. It means so much to receive encouragement from other writers. It’s amazing how much harder it is to finish a manuscript once you get close to the end, but I guess that’s because we leave all the things we can’t figure out until the end and have to deal with them all at once!
Thank you again so much!
