Back from the SiWC

so i'm back from the writer's conference... it was lots of fun, i saw a lot of interesting writers in the workshops i went to over the past 3 days and took a lot of notes... i also got 10 minutes with a literary agent and plugged my last year's NaNoWriMo novel... she said it sounded interesting, that it was marketable, and that i should possibly break it up into more than one book before contacting them and submitting something

now, i realize this isn't a guaranteed offer of 'edit what you have and ship it to us so we can send it out to a publisher' but it is 'edit what you have and look into sending us a query, because then we might ask to read part of it'... this is good news... and i was more than a little thrilled when she said that 'werewolf novels are still hot right now'

of course, being told to edit sucks a little because i'm trying to write something different right now... but i've told myself that what i'm writing now has to be finished at the end of November, or at least a few days before my final papers are due, and that the edit starts on December 13th after my last exam

in the meantime, i'm going to write as much as i can before i have to stop and write some papers for school, and hope i don't lose my mind
