I set myself a goal to begin submitting my novel by this weekend. I'm happy to say I just sent it off to my top ten agents (following the submission guidelines for each, of course.) I feel like I've taken the next step towards becoming a professional writer.

Congratulations, and good luck. It's not an easy thing to do, in terms of labor or in terms of personal comfort.

So good for you!

Thanks! I was in your shoes not too long ago. I felt like I'd never get done revising and be ready to submit.
