Don't Panic!

I'm telling myself this because I just took a deep breath and pressed enter to send a synopsis of my first children's book to a literary agent.  It's exciting and terrifying all at once.  I provided all the information they asked for on the submission form, nothing more, nothing less.  They didn't ask for the whole story or any of the illustrations.  Now all I can do is sit back and wait to see if they respond.

If I don't hear from them within a couple of weeks, I'll try another agent.  For now, though, I'll just have to wait and see.  It's a sweet story, and it's personal.  It would be nice to have it published.
