Most of the time, I really enjoy my job. But some days I
don’t.
Three times this month, I’ve called my clients to give them big
news: Their book was accepted by a publisher. Their reaction? Bill let out a
big sigh of relief. Jessie squealed. Brenda was essentially speechless in
disbelief. In every case, they thanked me for my hard work and persistence.
This is the part I love.
About a dozen times now, my clients and I have parted
company; about half were at my initiative, half at theirs. In every case I was
disappointed, either at my own failure or at their unreasonable expectations.
That’s the part I hate. But life goes on, and future glories await. Such as my
three deals for November.
