2012-03-19 - 4:12 p.m. Just now, on my desk, my cell phone came alive. Someone was calling from a 917 number, and I did the quick rifling in my head and thought: that's a New York number. And then I thought: editors and agents all live in New York. I answered, and there was a female voice (which was promising) and then she said she was from a place that was not an editorship or an agentship and I thought: do the Germans have a word for that particular feeling? The rapid up-rapid down that comes from a small hope quickly dashed? Today is my birthday.
