*loves cruises*
I did a cruise for my Grad gift to the Caribbean. Grand Cayman and Playa de Carmen stops. So freakin' beautiful. First time I was on a cruise, it was so much fun.
OOH, that is pretty. I went to the Bahamas for my college graduation. It was awesome!
I don't know if I could do a cruise that quickly. 
Maybe next time!!
And June, I'll send everyone a message with how to handle the money and everything. We are going to have so much fun! But we have to force ourselves to actually write. lol

I have only one thing to say if you go cruising:
Killer Piranha Movie.
If anybody went to see Avatar, (SOGOOD!) did they happen to see that preview? Lol :]

Guys! I got PMed by an agent who is interested in CMRH!
I don't know what to say to her since the first draft isn't even finished.
Thoughts?

Oh lord! The Pirannha movies of the early 80's scared the shit out of me as a kid. In one movie, the things flew around, and we lived across the street from a pond. I stayed awake all night after watching it, fearing they were gonna bust in my window and gnaw me to death!
Did you research the agency? Would do that before you reply.
I would sit down and try to figure out, realistically, how long it will take you to comeplete a polised draft because you'll have to be honest with her and it will help to have an idea going in.
Did he/she request a partial or just express general interest?
Who is it? I'd tread cautiously until you can confirm they are legit, but that is so flattering!

HOLY SHITE! That is CRAZY, GURL!!!
I'd say PM him/her back and let her known that you're almost finished with the draft, and then keep hauling ass!!!

I'M EXCITED AND TOTALLY PUMPED!!
Yes, we'll have to have writing schedules, so we can make ourselves work!!
Checked the AW Bewares and Background check.
Legit.
Realistically, I think I'll be able to finish it within two-three months.
She expressed general interest, so I have to send in a cover letter, synop, and first 50 pages.
Wow Karla! Congratulations!
I'd suggest being very honest about how far you are. But, still... that is SO COOL!

I second, Char, since I had an offer from an agent just starting out.
Can you rep me her name or the screen name?

That's a good agency....
(make sure you delete her name in just a second)
I will lol I'm giving it 5 minutes lol
I think the just starting out is okay as long as the agency isn't new. I know of at least two AWers who were contacted via PM. In both cases, they were newer agents working with established ones with proven track record.

Ah! June - I hope I didn't resurrect an old fear
Let's just say I'm glad I haven't been to see Avatar!!!You know those things that just stand out from childhood? I remember this scene where this dude was in teh morgue after being gnawed to death....the Medical Examiner take his body out and the things fly out of it killing a bunch of people.
I was probably six or seven and snuck around my parents to watch it. Oh yeah, totally got burned for being a rebel without a cause, lol.

The agency has sold some pretty big titles.
