4,000

What is it
that makes people
want to write a book?
It was always my
father's dream.
He did write a children's story
but never attempted
to have it published,
as far as I know.
The agent to whom
I sent my manuscript
received over
4,000 submissions
in just a few weeks.
4,000!
A tidal wave
of writing.
A tsunami of hopes
and dreams.
Knowing that
makes waiting to hear
a lot easier.
