Bulldogs come in 2 species...you have described the first type perfectly in that they will take your leg off just because they can. The second may appear to be the same on the surface but remember...the bulldog characteristics can work in your favor if the bulldog goes into the territorial "protect" mode on your behalf. Bet your grandma bit a few legs off on your behalf didn't she?!

I got a good giggle picturing that agent with the bling bling around her neck and a platinum and diamond studded grill telling you to "step back... you don't know me like that" (a verse off rapper Ludicrous songs) heheh <BR/><BR/>Don't even ask how I know that song. I'm not proud of it. To my defense though... I have teenagers, remember?

I just hope I've given people a realistic view of the world of publishing, literary agents, and so on from my brief write-ups...<BR/><BR/>There are beautiful people, great writers, and even a few cutthroat doggies at a great place like the Yosemite Writers Conference... I've met wonderful artists and people from all over... <BR/><BR/>I think Malcolm Margolin of Heyday Books summed if up so well--

normally, I just silently lurk ... but I have to tell you how much I enjoyed reading about your bitemarks. I guess in this business, you have to invest in huge quantities of antiseptic ... and some very large band-aids ...

There are always bulldogs. Just gotta learn to step around them without getting our heels nipped.

I loved picturing your Grandma. That made me smile a lot more than the grouchy agent. Get a life, woman! And I think your crusty title is positively brilliant.

That lady was such a meany I wanted to box her ears for saying that to you!!<BR/><BR/>I too have felt the the stigma of the Haves and Have Nots this weekend and often found myself wondering how the Have Nots can even gain entrance into the Haves circle of conversation long enough to interest them in anything you've written. <BR/><BR/>But then Malcolm Margolin (definitely a Have) has spent time
