Gulp. I did it...

Verla Kay:
 :paperbag I did it. I have the beginning of a new version of my WWII POW (World War II Prisoner of War) story written and it's being sent to my agent via snail mail today. GULP!  :mail  I'm writing this new version for TEENS. It's extremely stressful for me, as I have no idea if my "voice" in the story is going to come across as "real" or "archaic."  :neck I do like what I've done with it so far... I just hope my agent likes it, too. That will be a big test for me. If she does, then I'm off and running with it. I sent her the first 27 pages of what I've done with the story. You can read more about it on my blog entry for today - http://verlakay.blogspot.com/ Wish me luck, Folks. This is a SCARY thing for me to do. (Write something for teens!)
