Life in a Heart-Stopping Moment

A loud ping just a moment ago and an echo of the Thank You Experiment. Even though it is not much, it is heartening.

Seven weeks ago I emailed my attachments to a well-known Literary Agency and just now my post was acknowledged. Albeit a pro-forma text, it was from an email address that included a person's name. Bless her.

Same story. Hundreds of submissions; very few taken on each year. Up to three months to say no or begin to take things further. (Or is that three months from now?)

I have warmed to Literary Agents. I would rather sit at my desk than theirs. They must dread the ping - such a complex sound.
