Procedure question

Author: d. Leroy (---.hfc.comcastbusiness.net)

Hi all,
Looking for opinions out there on how to proceed. An agent (the agent I wanted, I might add) has read my book and gave me great praise on it. In addition, she said she'd love to work with me on it. That's the good news.

She told me she'd call Monday (THE CALL, I hope) and we'd discuss the project and next steps.

Monday came and no call. My reaction was that people get busy and she'll most likely call later this week. But, of course, my insecurity surfaced and I'm debating a couple of options:

Just sit tight and wait - she'll call eventually. This doesn't mean she's abandoning the project.
Or
Shoot her a quick email stating that I am available the remainder of the week and can be contacted at any time, just to confirm the interest is still there. She's been great at answering emails and is super nice. My concern here is that I might be bugging her and that I might sound too desperate (which I am, naturally).

Any thoughts on this? Telling me to quit being a
whiny-bitch and relax is also an acceptable answer.

Thanks all,
d.
