The DonaldPosted in My Journey 2010 on January 30, 2010 by Melinda Curtis It's been a week since I sat in awe of Donald Maass, super agent, at his workshop. I learned several things about him: he's been an editor of romance, a writer of romance, a writer of Nancy Drew mysteries and an agent. It probably also helps my opinion of him that he's adopting a child from Africa. Does he sound like the perfect man for the new Millennium? He was also every writer's dream - a witty speaker, exhibiting a creative knack for story, scene and dialogue, and lots of tools in his toolbox for fixing story, scene and dialogue. I thought I couldn't wait to get back and edit pages after basking in his glow, but life got in the way and here it is one week later - no new edits. It's like Annie is singing in my head, "Tomorrow. Tomorrow. I love ya, Tomorrow. You're only a day away." So, tomorrow it will be butt in chair (who wants to watch the Pro Bowl anyway?) and advice from The Donald taking shape on the manuscript.
