UPDATE IN POST 37


I know, I know. It will probably amount to nothing. But finally, an agent I queried earlier today requested the first thirty pages.

But God, I've sent 89 queries so far, and have had 25 rejections. I've been feeling so discouraged.

Until now. My hope is renewed.

Instead of the usual, expected rejection, the email starts with "Sounds good, Allen. Please send 30 pages. . . "

We'll see if he likes them.

I hope he does.

We all hope so, too. Got our fingers crossed, even.

Maryn, typing pretty well, considering

Trying to print the pages now.

On my nice, special inkjet paper, the printing (in higher quality) keeps looking all blotted, almost like dot matrix.

So I put the cheapie paper back in, and it prints perfectly. WTF?

I hope he doesn't mind the sample on cheapie paper.
