Here it is:
April 16 -- I queried Captain Agent, and he responded with a request for my materials.
May 7 -- His gatekeeper got back to me to apologize for taking so long to respond (!) and said she absolutely loved it and was passing it up to the Captain.
May 20 -- Gatekeeper got back to me again and said the Captain loved it and would check back in with me "in a week or so" after they had had time to further develop their ideas for the project.
Nothing since then.
I'm going a little insane here. Every day of silence is another day of Chinese water torture. I realize these people are busy and I'm not faulting them for neglect or laziness; in fact, I've got a friend's manuscript that I've taken waaaay too long to read and I'm nothing but an idle troll living in my mother's basement.
Anyway, on July 1, it will be six weeks since May 20, and my Published Author friend says it will be time for a nudge. I want to do the professional thing. I want to let Captain Agent know that I'm still as interested in them as they (said they) are with me. How do most people do this? A brief, pleasant note to ask how it's going? What should I expect from it?
I have a lot of anxiety about the silence, but I also have a lot of anxiety about the nudge. Help/tea/sympathy from those who have been here, done this?
