Last winter I went through the submission process for the first time with EVERLASTING, and I'm positively freaking out right now with the What If's. What if that first book deal was a fluke? What if it's the only thing I ever sell? What if this new story I love never finds a home? I'm unable to wrap my head around the fact that we're about to enter another submission process. It was just so stressful last time! Exciting, but stressful ;-)
This weekend I'm going to try and pretend nothing at all is happening come Monday. We have a woodstacking party to go to Saturday (where I will not be stacking wood, but staying out of the way of those people who actually know what they are doing), and on Sunday a birthday party for my nephew.
I'm also going to continue work on the second draft of EVERLASTING's sequel, and try to ignore the new story idea that just gelled for me yesterday. There needs to be a few more hours in each day, seriously.

Great luck with it! I'm sure it will do fantastic and editors will be fighting for it!
Sounds good. Good luck with the submission.
You're way ahead of most. You have an agent. Good for you, and you're blogging too. All the best.
Thanks! PJ, I soooo hope you are right!
Prince B, thank you!
Gutsywriter, thank you for visiting my blog! I'm still in awe of my agent, and we just passed the 1-year anniversary mark :-) He's the BEST :-)
Good luck, Angie!! You speak wise words when you say you're going to pretend nothing is happening. That's why you have an agent, to worry about these things for you so you can keep writing. :)
Yes, best of luck. And, you are so well on your way, already!
Angie, I hope a publisher snaps it right up.
I hear you about the "fluke" fears. That was how I felt -- that the toughest book to sell would be number TWO. And sure enough, they wanted MAJOR revisions before they'd take it. But they did. All the best!
