A couple of weeks ago--he says, realizing that many of his posts begin this way and vowing to try to be more timely with updates--I hit a major milestone in my career.
No, I didn't get a promotion.
No, I didn't get a raise.
No, I didn't file my first sexual harassment suit.
I bought my first official book, all on my own.
Not only that, but it's by my favorite writer of EVER, someone whom I tracked down at my previous job (the one that fired me last year) and reconnected with in August. I read her new book, loved it, and negotiated a two-book deal. She's now my author.
This, my friends, is what every editor dreams of: working with his favorite author. And to think I'm really only starting out. Can it get any better than this? I still get teary-eyed every time I think about it.
