A Friend's Happiness

I'm so excited for a writer friend of mine. She received very positive news from the agent of her choice, who not only loves her book, but wants to represent it as well. I know that should come hand in hand, but sometimes it doesn't. An agent may like the manuscript, but may not be an expert in that genre or may not believe it's different enough from others to be salable. Luckily, that wasn't the case for my friend. It may seem silly, but I am truly enjoying the whole process through her eyes knowing some day I will be the one signing a contract.
