NEVER NEVER NEVER ask your agent out

I asked my agent out, and ever since it's been wierd. She really won't talk to my any more. I didn't think I was that out of line, and I wasn't creepy about it or any thing. She declined and I didn't make a big deal out of it. Now she'll barelly talk to me. What the hell.

Haha guess mixing business and pleasure really is a bad idea.

Oh well she keeps it up I'll find another one. I have every confidence I'm onto something good with my work so if she doesn't want to make money off me the hell with her.

SoulCatcher78:
Business relationships are like war, no-one wins but everyone gets collateral damage.

We were supposedlly friends before any of that, but I've got some  shit going on with a familly member in serious condition right now, and I need my supposed friend, but she's ignoring me.  If the whole novel was finished today she wouldn't get her hands on it.

blgarver:
Damn, sounds heated. 

I would also suggest not dating anyone that works at an establishment that you frequent.  My two main haunts are Perkins and Borders Boookstore.

I've gotten involved with an employee of both places, and they both ended up bad.  It resulted in a few things...  It's wierd going to those places now, for one.  Secondly I can never date anyone from Perkins or Borders again, even if I would like to.  And thirdly, if I ever date again, I can't bring the new girl to either of my favorite places to hang out.

I also dated a sales rep at the TV station I work for...the sales people sell the commercials, we producers go out and make the commercial...so we work closely with the sales people.  It got wierd, and then rumors started flying and a few of my other collegues got jealous and wierd because they had wanted to hook up with her.  Bad deal for all involved.

So I've decided to just be a loner for a while...a long while.  Relationships are a pain in the ass and they take time away from writing.

eviladam:
I know not to get involved with co workers/business associates/employees at places you frequent. I know that from past experience. But I thought we were really good friends before she was my agent and I had a thing for her then, I thought it was mutual. Like I said when she shot me down I didn't make a big deal out of it, but she's been a bitch ever since.

Blah, I'm gonna finish my book and I will find a new agent, and then rub her nose in it when my book hits big and she's not a part in it.

There may even be a P.S. Bet you wish you were still my agent Laurel, in the dedications.
