Hey everyone! I'm Carrie. I'm from MN and am enduring my second go around with the querying game. I have several fulls and partials out for my current NA / WF manuscript, and I wish I could manifest additional patience because all I do is refresh my email, check Querytracker.net, and stalk agents on Twitter. Or maybe I should manifest a life. Yes, that would be better. :)

Of course, I am taking advantage of the downtime to read some fantastic new books and start plotting my new manuscript, which is what brought me here. I'm hoping by helping others, I'll hone my editorial eye a little better as I only have 2 CPs and neither are currently working on anything.

Anyway, I've typed your eyes off enough! I look forward to chillin' with you fine peeps 'round the water cooler. Cheers!

Hi, Carrie. I'm also from the Midwest, writing WF, and like to read NA and WF. I'm not looking for a CP now, but I hope to be looking soon. Wanted to put myself on your radar as well as saying hello. :welcome:

Welcome to the water cooler! Congrats on the partial and full requests. I'm still at the radio-silence stage, but I feel your pain with the waiting... :D

Hey there!

Take it from me, having a social life isn't as important as all my friends with social lives keep trying to convince me it is. :tongue
