Agent intrested!!

I've had an agent ask to see the complete manuscript of my novel!! There I was about to give up hope and just publish the thing here in chapter by chapter installments. I have had so many rejections, too many. I decided to give it one last try, and bingo! It just goes to show that what they say is true, never give up. If you really think what you've written is worth while then keep plugging away. If it is good then sooner or later someone will pick it up.
They want it for 60 days on a read only basis, so they might still send it back with a 'thanks but no thanks'. But at least they think it good enough to call in. Asking to read a hundred thousand word manuscript isn't something you do for the fun of it. So I have everything crossed.

Jamie had his developmental review last Tuesday with his paediatrician. He did really well. He doesn't think he will need to see him on a regular basis now. Jamie is still only at the developmental rate of a two year old, which isn't unexpected. He'll be five in January bless him. He's so happy though, nothing seems to bother him. And now he's at school I think he'll come on much more. They do such a lot with them. They go horse riding once a week, music therapy twice a week, they have their own kitchen and do cooking with them, and gardening, all sorts of things to stimulate them. It can be frustrating at times because they can get him to do things that he just won't do with me at home. It's just a waiting game really. They say that SOTOS children do catch up eventually. So we'll just have to wait and see.
