I was getting ready to query, preparing my list of agents, when I found one of my A-list dream agents is closing to queries tomorrow for several months. I'm very happy with my QL and first five pages, so I sent it in. She's typically fast to respond, under two weeks. My wait has begun.
I won't start querying widely until the end of December, but I had to take a shot. That being said, I've been out of the game for so long, I forgot how hard it is to hit send. I came close to hyperventillating. Maybe it's because this book is a completely different genre than what I've written before. But it seemed harder this time.
At any rate, I've got one out for now, more to follow soon. I've already started checking my email every two minutes. I'm hopeless. Somebody please hold my hand!! Or pass me a drink. One of those.
