Moving on to the next stage!!

2021 is starting off with a huge milestone—five years since I first started querying, I finally have a literary agent for my third novel!!!

Honestly, I'm still in the stage of feeling like it's unreal, worrying that I might wake up or take one wrong step and lose my agent, somehow. And I feel like I'm not as euphoric as I thought I would be because I still have doubts about whether my book will be picked up on submission. I don't know whether the pandemic/recent political events/whatever have put me in a state of hypervigilance and it's become impossible for me to rest or celebrate because I'm always thinking about the next potential problem/obstacle. The urge to chase goalposts is such a real thing.

But I'm going to do my best to celebrate by ordering bubble tea this weekend, at least!
