Yes, you read it right:
I'm delighted to announce I've signed with Michelle L. Johnson of Inklings Literary Agency, whose kindness, professionalism and enthusiasm made choosing her an easy decision. I'm confident she's going to guide my future writing career with skill and competence, and I'm really looking forward to working with her!
Huge thanks to you -- without the support and help of online writing communities, I'd never have come this far. People offered great advice, personal experiences and anecdotes that boosted my morale many times. A heartfelt "Thank you" to fellow bloggers and friends! :-D
*whispering* Hopefully, I'll have some more good news to report next week if all goes well. *crosses fingers*

Whoo hoo! I'm so excited for you. I knew it would happen. And can't wait to hear your other good news. Congratulations and popping champagne corks all around.
Congratulations, Lexa. This is super news.

That is awesome, wishing you nothing but success and happiness.
Congratulations and how wonderful for you to be signed by a publishing company! I wish you much success, Lexa.
Opps, my error, I meant "agent". It is very early in the morning here (before sun light), and my brain is not fully alert. That won't happen for a few hours yet.
I could really use an agent to help further my career (whatever that is). I have big dreams, so perhaps what I really need is a wizard...like Merlin the magician, or my very own Yoda...or someone like that Kung Fu rat that gives advice to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Anyways, congratulations. It sounds like you are really going places.
holy moly Lexa congratssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss, so happy for you...

Huge congrats, Lexa!
Hey! I missed this when you first announced it!
(Probably because I've been buried in editorial revisions and not paying attention to the A to Z-ing stuff going on in the blogosphere.)
But I saw it announced today in the YA Litchat newsletter and had to come over to say CONGRATULATIONS!!!
