Too many times for it to be coincidence. <br /><br />Congratulations to Holly and Angie. Can't wait for the new series to come out.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767560505610292503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-31087214361832693412010-10-07T21:35:45.634-04:002010-10-07T21:35:45.634-04:00Thank you for sharing.

Unfortunately, out here in Hollywood, doing the right thing only counts when there is someone watching--especially if you're an agent. Everyone in your tale did the right thing because it was the right thing to do. No one was looking for kudos. My favorite part was reading Angie's comment. She didn't even know what you'd done. Thank you for making my day.E.

And I really do need a few "feel good" stories today--thanks, Jessica. It's really cool to know where Holly landed. And, since I'm a huge Angie Fox fan, I'm really looking forward to her new series!

That's what true friendship is all about. I'm a big believer in giving back and helping others any way I can. Your actions speak volumes. Thanks for sharing this story and good luck to all of you. <br />And here's something to remember: You just never know who is watching and how you might affect them through your actions. True story. I went to the YMCA the other week and this woman came up to me and said, "I've been watching you and I have to tell you that you have inspired me to lose weight. I see you working hard and you don't care what you look like (I'm usually very sweaty and, umm, look like a wet dog) and I think 'look at her go.' I'm gonna try." And then she thanked me. I was blown away. So whenever I go to the Y and she's there, she tells me how many minutes she's been able to go on the treadmill. Maybe it was 5 minutes and I encourage her to try to add another minute. But the point is that in life, we need to encourage one another. Life's not all about you or me. Anyway, kudos for looking out for others. You made a difference in someone's life and that, my friend, is the true treasure. Have a great day.Buffy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033283884801658206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-52000669766698178442010-10-06T10:13:38.750-04:002010-10-06T10:13:38.750-04:00This is a great example of what happens behind the...This is a great example of what happens behind the scenes in publishing. Although I have to tell you that I didn't originally hear this story from Jessica or Holly (modest anyone?) but from my new editor.<br /><br />And that's why, when I first started my career, I wanted an agent. All I can do as an author is write the best book I can. But an agent can take that work and help bring you to the next level.Angie Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11989961901734174010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23051453.post-18895133345490931142010-10-06T08:43:45.177-04:002010-10-06T08:43:45.177-04:00It just goes to show how much building bridges and...It just goes to show how much building bridges and personal connections do matter in this business- which IMO is a really really great thing.
