I'd hate to think that that would be what held me back from being published.

If your attitude is good, anyway. You made the argument that an agent can look around and see what you've done, so if you haven't behaved yourself (gotten into flame wars, bad-mouthed someone who gave you a less-than-stellar review) then they'll see you're probably not the type of person they want to work with.<br /><br />Then again, that's kind of a pro, too. I'd rather a person with a bad attitude get weeded out early than have to deal with them as a peer if/when I get published myself.Joana Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14611553654125968433noreply@blogger.com
