A dear friend, Vanessa, came for a visit tonight. Amidst our chat of her upcoming tour to Peru, I'm looking up my book to maybe share a chapter with her, she says "how's your book coming?". Inside, I thought...well, this is divinely guided, for sure. So I opened my mouth and started reading away to her. By the end of the chapter, she gazed at me in amazement - Eyes Wide Open, and my reaction was amazement as well. She was intrigued, I wrote what she didn't expect from me. I moved her and it was a glimpse into my readers eyes (as if I was a foreshadowing fly on the wall of every home my book is going to reach - far and wide). I saw my future, this character "Author Leanna Rodgers", was sitting here, sharing secrets, of a memoir. It was a mirror being held up in front of me. What a blessing this moment was, to give her an earful, my heart through my writing, for she is the first person I have dared to share and read portions of my book to, and ask her opinion of what she heard. For this, I am greatful! And now off to the Literary Agents.
