he had already gone home for the day

Sounds like torture. Oh wait, it’s all torture so that was good practice. I always love to hear how people stuck with it.

“(To his credit, he often added photocopies of amusing comic strips to illustrate the content of his letters.)”

For some reason, I found this point, vastly amusing.

Great first-sale story!

Great story. Just goes to show that while it’s hard to break up, it’s usually for the best! Note to self: sending nothing out that could possibly garner a response on April Fool’s Day.

Totally off topic, but couldn’t find another place to ask – does anyone know why Karen’s account has been suspended? My apologies for hijacking the thread, deletion for this interruption is more than acceptable, but am hoping someone knows what’s up. TPA

I phoned Richard, but he had already gone home for the day. Intent on distracting myself until I could speak with him in the morning, I went to a play, a murder mystery. Halfway through the first act, I remembered the date – April 1. April Fools Day.

I asked myself if Richard could be the cruelest man in the world.

Cruel…yeah, that would be cruel, but it would also be dumb. Agents aren’t usually dumb. ;)

Great first sale story, loved reading it!
