How I did it
It made me
believe again. 
How I did it: Worked my ass off for Obama's campaign. Made calls to undecided states. Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Read how I did it…
It made me
Over the moon!
How I did it: Called and spoke to her assistant and sold myself...then got the okay to send a query letter...A very difficult task! Worked FOREVER on the query letter. Then got the okay to send the first 50 pages. Then got the okay to send the entire manuscript. Before I sent it I went through it and took a bunch of things out...very, very quickly. Then I got the okay that she wanted to be my agent. I felt like I'd won the lottery. Read how I did it…
