Book Pitch

I pitched my book, "The Anticool," to this awesome agent on Saturday. I went in there sooooo terrified, but he was really easy to talk to, and his jovial personality made me much more relaxed. He laughs a lot, and as my favorite thing to do is make people laugh, it was a great interview. All the laughing was perhaps contrasted with the conversation about my book, which is definitely dark, and in which everyone pretty much dies. So, we had two really happy, humorous people laughing one minute, and looking very serious and sad the next. It was pretty awesome. One of those life moments.
Anyway, he asked me to send the book over to him, which, of course, was my goal, so I am really happy. "The Anticool" may be a little heavier than what he usually takes on, but hopefully he will like the writing well enough to try it!
I am also starting a new blog about my writing. So that agents, or anyone interested in my writing have a place to check it out online... It is a work in progress, and the above paragraph is pretty much exact over there, too, but I am going to try to beef it up here this week with a resume, synopsis of "The Anticool," and more writery stuff.
