I'll avoid making suggestions that might imply that being stuck with an agent you don't like, but were unlucky enough to sign a binding contract with, then finding a way to convince them to travel out here in person to hand in your manuscript, ... may result in your contract no longer being quite so binding.
Nope, not gonna say anything along those lines at all!
"Remember that we really don’t know what we’re doing, but we’re enthusiastic about it" in the same vein as "I don't know where I'm going but I'm making good time...".
My dwarf barbarian character in D&D had two axes, one was called Diplomacy, one was Stealth. I could always argue with the party that not only did my character know how to use Diplomacy and Stealth, he was proficient with both. I later named a two-handed hammer "Subtlety."
There were times I had to get out the Subtlety hammer.
At a certain point in your life; you must adopt the attitude "If I can't have fun doing what I'm doing, it ain't worth doing."
I've often operated under the philosophy if what I'm doing doesn't involve Lawyers, Guns (with ammo!) and Money (all in plentiful quantity); then I'm not doing it right!
They're still using socks? After you did that three part series on flexible impact weapons? I guess that you can't acquire those items with cheese sandwiches and abuse?
If your negotiations do not involve speed, surprise, and violence of action, I don't think you are negotiating correctly.
All depends on who the other person is, and what means will be effective.

Always enjoy the ride.. :)
Enthusiasm counts for a lot as long as it's coming from people with a good heart.

Not a writer yet, just a happy Raconteur Press consumer.

I can buy socks at Dollar General and pay in cash. Same for playground sand at the local weed & seed. Flexible weapons in my State ate forbidden.
Well said. Your books look great, also.
"...we’re not turning our veterans loose in a New York high-rise with booze and opportunities for mischief...."
See, this right here is a missed opportunity. Quality entertainment is hard to come by, after all.
