Are ya nuts? [Don't answer that; I...Hey Buffi,<br /><br />Are ya nuts? [Don't answer that; I already know.] You sent me to your blog, which says your "favorite" agent asked for a proposal. Well, since ya just sent me the query letter, I know that ain't me!<br /><br />I haveta comment anyway, as I think we're related.<br /><br />A woman who laughs at funerals. [That would be me, but I can always pull the "bipolar" card.] A gypsy mother who refuses to wear a bra [My mother took me to see the play, GYPSY; and she refuses to buy a new bra, as they cost too much.] and a father who has two wives. [My father had two wives, but not at the same time.] A brother who sleeps under the coffee table [I have a brother who sleeps, and he has a coffee table.] and a sister who was kidnapped. [I have a sister, and I wish she'd been kidnapped--okay, not really.] A homosexual minister [Yep. One of my 7 uncles.], a missing uncle [All accounted for, if bein' in prison isn't considered missing.] and a feisty red-headed grandmother [Okay, I'm a full-blooded Italian, so I ain't got no way to fake the red hair. Although I'm a grandmother, and I dye my hair a lovely shade of red-brown ... OMGosh! Am I your grandmother?!!?] who was longing to leave it all. [Wish I could, but no such luck. Promised my hubby (he's such a sweet man), and my sis I'd never try suicide a 3rd time.]<br /><br />Your family photos are ridiculous [the good ridiculous], and I hope your favorite agent signs you. If not, there’s always some other fool you can submit your proposal to…. Okay, enough time spent boring you. It's 4:20 AM, and I never went to bed. Time to go stretch out in my coffin....<br /><br />Smiles,<br />Kelly Mortimer, The EXTREME Agent<br />Mortimer Literary AgencyKelly Gottuso Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034413109205568904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499608354279488667.post-12134933219670611982010-04-07T07:15:47.040-04:002010-04-07T07:15:47.040-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kelly Gottuso Mortimerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13034413109205568904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499608354279488667.post-17940881253949994722010-02-25T14:02:17.235-05:002010-02-25T14:02:17.235-05:00Tigerlilly & Sarah & Lou,

Greatly appreciated!<br /><br />I've checked out both of your sites and the book sounds fascinating- what an extraordinary family life you've had! I'd love to read it when available. <br /><br />I agree, writing is nothing but persistence, perseverance and practice. All synonomous really. Congrats on getting an agent interested- this is a very positive step in the right direction. Everything will hopefully fall into place for you.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Lou :)<br />www.livewritedream.blogspot.comLouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152803362923785129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499608354279488667.post-65689995904278770762010-02-23T10:56:35.361-05:002010-02-23T10:56:35.361-05:00How exciting that you have the interest of your fa...How exciting that you have the interest of your favorite agent! That is a big first hurdle to jump. Good luck with the proposal; that almost seemed harder for me to write than the whole dang book!
