This is what I *want* her to say.
_________________________________
Dear marvellous, brilliant client:
I have finished reading your new book and I love it. I couldn't put it down. I know we'll find a place that will give you a six-digit advance, just in time to save you from the pressures of this crushing economy. They'll pay you so much money you can begin to rebuild your life.
Also, your older book is still making the rounds, and I have several publishers making interested noises. They all praise your writing, plot and characterization.
In light of so much success, here are some rich chocolates and champagne. Enjoy! It's on me.
Please, write me as often as possible. I can't hear enough from my number one client.
Sincerely,
Your humble servant

"They'll pay you so much money you can begin to rebuild your life."
And your friends' lives as well! :)

At least you have an agent, so quit whining.

If she sends that exact letter to you, can I be your friend? (providing you get enough money to rebuild your life and your friends' as well)
