@Amantin: You absolutely MUST go to see Stonehenge if you've never been. And please pay the extra $ to take the tour that allows you to actually walk up to and in between the stones. It is a feeling I will never forget.

My response was to Myviewpoint.

As a fellow gemini who shares many of the same challenges--I related so much to your post about having a boring job and meditating for clarity....really weird. Okay, here's the advice:

You should definitely go with an agent. You know yourself that you're an artist/writer, and you should leave the business stuff to someone who's better suited to it. That's not to say you can't do it, b/c you're very intelligent and saavy, but if you're like me you'd MUCH prefer that these details get worked out by someone else. The types of things a literary agent will have to deal with will just take the wind out of your sails, and that fresh wind is what makes you such a great writer in the first place. And, since you're probably not motivated by money but still love having it, it just makes sense that you get a literary agent.

Plus, don't you think that even the process of finding the right literary agent sounds like a fun challenge? Think of all of the great people who you will get to meet and talk to about your book?! And with your great intuition, you'll just KNOW when you've met the right person to represent you. That's how we work. Much love and prosperity!! ~L
