Hi all!
Thought I'd finally join in the fun. Seriously need a place to chill while undergoing the looooooong wait for agent responses.
My writing life so far:
Finished writing my first novel Feb 2009
Got overly excited and started querying immediately (the original query letter still makes me cringe). Big Mistake. Result: 7 rejections and 1 request for a partial which was ultimately rejected because writing was not polished enough.
Took a deep breath. Buffed the MS and did major surgery on the query. Sent new query plus 10 pages to two agents (wanted to start slow) a couple of days ago. Both responded the following day and asked for the full MS.
And so here I am today, reminding myself to breathe.
How was your day?
