Now, I'm VERY upset - that is, very angry and much worried... Anyhow: remember the last episode of "Amalia's life as a writer?". After receiving my counterproposal, My agent wrote me a rather resentful and vehement e-mail, telling me he was "offended" by what I wrote (that is, he was offended by the fact I could have thought to a counterproposal. I can swear that I have been very correct on a formal basis), but he was not very clear whether he still wanted to discuss the proposal or not - he made several but not global remarks about it. I answered that business and personal feelings have nothing to do with each other; that, as I have not thought myself legitimated to show my irritation to him, he's not legitimated to show his to me as well. I told him my aim is to reach an agreement satysfing for both of us, and I asked him if he is still interested in the whole thing, or If he wants to call it off (he wrote he was very surprised that I thought a contract can be object of negotiation - !!!). Then, I took into consideration his remarks about the proposal, accepting some of them and refusing others. I sent the mail in the late morning, and I am still waiting for an answer. I asked the I-Ching: "What is going to happen now?" The answer was hex. 25, no changing lines. The Oracle seems to keep encouraging me (I know HIS former proposal was pretty unfair - but this is normal - in business, you're supposed to ask for the moon in order to get some piece of land...), but I do not have much hope - he doesn't seem to understand...
