Two announcements
Blogging Mini-Vacation This Week
The theme of this week is Working Like a Madwoman to Make Up for All The Slacking I Did Earlier this Month. Yaya came up again and has given me yesterday, today and tomorrow to have as vacation days where she’ll take over everything and let me do whatever I want. Whoo-hoo! In my effort to cram about three weeks of work into three days, I’m going to keep the blogging to a minimum this week. Although we’re still on for 7 Quick Takes Friday — I can always come up with seven random thoughts.
Exciting Book News
Big news: sitting here on my desk is a contract that says I officially have a literary agent for my book. Very exciting! Having an agent isn’t a guarantee that a book will be published, but it’s a big step. Interestingly, this is a secular agency. I was wondering if my story would be “too religious” for them, but I guess they didn’t think so. I have a lot of confidence in this agent and am extremely excited to be working with him. Now I just need to finish the thing… 
Have a great Thanksgiving, everyone! I’ll be back on Friday.
For your convenience, you can have each Conversion Diary post delivered on a feed reader or by email.
Congrats on the agent! Even bigger (?) congrats on getting a few days off. enjoy them! I’ll see if I can pull seven random thoughts together for Friday (but they’ll be posted late).
Happy Thanksgiving!
Whoo Hoo for Yaya and a publisher too !! Lot’s to be Thankful for !

Three cheers for Yaya. She sounds like a real jewel.
Congratulations. That is huge and so exciting! We can say we knew you when…
I don’t know what makes me more jealous – three days to write, write, write or an agent! Congratulations! How exciting.
Go, Yaya!
Congratulations, what great news!
And so long as Yaya doesn’t teach your children how to keep scorpions for pets, you should have a wonderful week
