Three Bits o' Gratitude for Today

1. Yesterday my contract came in the mail. I signed one of the copies and we put it back in the mail almost right away.

This means my children's writing is officially agented by Caryn Wiseman of the Andrea Brown Literary Agency! After working on The Book and trying to get an agent for three years, it's finally happened. This means I'll go through another round of revisions with Caryn and then she'll start shopping it around to editors at various publishing houses.

It's still just settling in that I have an agent and might actually become a published author in a few years.

Wow.

2. The look on Bonn's face when I showed her the contract.

3. Last night I stumbled upon Iain Anderson's show on BBC Radio Scotland. Today I've managed to find a way to pull down those few shows that are still online and have been listening to them. (They're available online for about a week.) This show is likely to become standard listening at werk and at home.

To those of you in the UK: are there other BBC radio shows I should check out?
