NO more relationships with 'girls next door'!; - after TWO in the 'Priory Street Posse'!

once I discussed these with the agent, which the Agency’s
Aquisitions Director Sherry had told me by email would happen
once the critique for the first book had been received by both
them and I. Indeed I was supposed at that point to actually
meet the agent, which will be interesting to achieve as they are
5,000+ miles away in the USA! To try to provide flexibility, I
found another credit card to apply for – but they said at the
end they would let me know the outcome in ‘five days’. There
has been no letter to date as I write on Sunday 12 th July – so I
will phone them on Monday 13 th if there is still no news by post
then. Julie and I had some wine at my place that night, took
off our clothes, and she helped me out, I helped her out – then
she helped me out a second time!
On Sunday Julie’s Dad cancelled a lunch date at the last minute
so she gave me a cold chicken salad instead of him! She
anguished all afternoon, filling out the application form for the
above two care jobs that I had printed off the Internet. Where
it said tick one box to apply for care worker or live-in carer – I
told her to tick both boxes to keep her options open at
interview!
I had accepted the offer from the Agency on Friday almost
immediately, and on Monday an email arrived with a contract to
fill in and sign electronically. The contract seemed short and
perfectly reasonable so I filled it in and emailed it back. I was
only to email it also to my father the next day – who promptly
phoned back saying there was nothing wrong with it. There
was an email address special to Writers Literary Agency given
in Sherry’s email, at www.writersliterary.com their chosen
Editorial Critique Company, and as requested I sent them a
short email asking for information as how to obtain a critique
for ‘Scientific Proof’. Later a Kate replied saying a critique cost
$89 with details of how to pay, when they would email me a
critique form and instructions. I had to wait for the cheque for
£52.50 from Friday to clear on Thursday, which was worrying
till it actually finally cleared at midnight on the Thursday
morning. Up till midnight, then, to wait for it to clear, I
immediately paid www.writersliterary.com their $89. (£57.12 it
worked out to).
