Reconnecting with the past

It was a balmy morning when I was taking my routine six mile walk. My mind was spinning with ideas about my memoir, "Victoria Speaking..." and wondering if any of the three remaining agents would be excited about the book. Then the intuitive "ah-ha" came to mind. While leaving my former life as an aspiring actress in Los Angeles many years ago, I had worked with SAG agent, Jack Scagnetti.

Jack and I had had contact during the past 15 years, however, it had been about three years since he and I last spoke and it was regarding my documentary on Victoria Woodhull, "America's Victoria, Remembering Victoria Woodhull." I had also chatted with him about those supermarket mini-magazines tossing out the idea of psychic mini mags a couple years prior.

In any event, I felt compelled to contact Jack again and was delighted to see he was still working as a literary and SAG agent. We talked briefly about my memoir and how I wanted to pitch the book proposal to a Hollywood production company and sell the film rights. Was he interested? Yes!

The fear of rejection set in. Should I send Jack my proposal with three top literary agents reviewing my work? Yes. No. Maybe. Creative thinkers and writers have good days and bad days like everyone. I had a couple of negative days and found myself overcritical of my work. Luckily that mood didn't last long - I got fired up again and was thrilled to let Jack review my work.

Mercury is presently retrograde. Meaning this planet of communication gives the feeling that it is moving backwards causing all sorts of communication problems. And delays. My sense is it'll probably be after September 3rd, when Mercury goes direct that I will hear news. Good or bad. I'm ready!

Today is Friday the 13th. I'm betting it's going to be a lucky day for me.
