Sweet!<br /><br />As far as agents go, if it were on a scale from 1 to 10, 1 being pass/go and 10 being hand-holding, I guess I'd like somewhere in between, maybe a 7.<br /><br />I just found out that my mom LOVES groundhogs!

She didn't see the use of them. It hurt me to take them out but as it was I felt like she knew best. <br /><br />If I ever get an agent for other works, I hope I get the editorial kind where they tell you what works and what doesn't and give you an idea of how to fix it. Usually at that point I have given my best and don't know how else to make it better so any suggestion is welcome. <br /><br />Thanks Penny and Susanna for a very informative post!Clarike Bowman-Jahnhttp://www.facebook.com/cbowmanjahnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-57622164511807042022012-03-13T06:58:26.664-04:002012-03-13T06:58:26.664-04:00I'm so glad if we have all helped answer you q...I'm so glad if we have all helped answer you question, Penny.

I think I would prefer an editorial agent who would give a few details to work with along with general comments. I have really enjoyed all the comments from those of you who already have an agent.
