Every writer* has experienced those moments of self-doubt, those “I’m not talented, wasting my time, my writing is crap that nobody but indulgent friends and family will ever read, what was I thinking” times.

So It was astounding to get such high praise** from an agent who requested a full manuscript and another who asked me to query. Best of all, I really like both of them a lot and feel we’d make a good team.

All of this happened at Saturday’s Unicorn Conference. Thank you, Jan Kardys.

*I base this on a scientific sampling of the #amwriting Twitter group and a few writers I know.

**Don’t worry. I’ll go back to my old self-deprecating self soon.
