Heard from the agent, but I can’t do a proper entry just yet, because there’s some follow-up correspondence passing back and forth between us still. Certainly, it’s an extremely positive development, particularly from a relationship building standpoint, the sort I’m dead lucky to have forged.
Here’s a small excerpt from their last note:

“Obviously, I’d love for you to continue to work with me on finding a great project to get out there.”

More to come…
