She is going to start sending my manuscript to pengiun, harpercollins, random house, candlewick, and so on, within a couple weeks. This is the real deal. I'm a writer now. It's my career.

Go you. 8)

Although keep in mind that just because you have an agent - and just because your agent is a very successful one - your novel still may not be picked up by a publisher.

Still, now that I've finished with mah warning, let me say again: well done!
I wrote the above just for you.

Misty,

Don't faint and keep in there. That's really exciting. We all aspire to reach such a level of publication and I congratulate you for getting as far as you have. If your book doesn't find a publisher, just remember that many authors have had their individual books rejected before they found someone who would take it.
Perception is everything.
