query sent

Might not seem like much of an accomplishment to most people here, but I just sent off my very first e-query ever ever ever. And the first query of any kind in the last three years.

Hasn't been rejected yet, in these days of instant communication, but I'm expectant of that any moment now. If it comes back as anything more than a flat automatic "No," I'll be pleased.

Good for you, Bird. Damn glad you're back in action. I've been waiting and waiting and waiting. Keep us up-to-date on what goes and what doesn't.

Good for you! Great to get back into the game, isn't it? As for the results...as a favorite character of mine once said, Life's full of surprises and they ain't all bad.

Yes!!!!! You did it! :Clap:

Good luck!!

I think it's a pretty big accomplishment. It took me two years to get the nerve to query my first ms.

Now go send some more!!

No. Not just now. I told the agent I had no other queries out, which is trooooth. But they claim to have a short response time. I have no exalted expectations, and only minimal aspirations.
