Querying and other fun things!!!

aspiringauthor123 · Jul 30, 2014

So I have FINALLY finished my manuscript, polished to perfection (HA)... or to the best of my ability, and grammatical editing aside I am now QUERYING!! Or attempting it at least. I just sit down at my computer and bleed... I'm crying from pain I like. Most of all I am just excited to be moving forward... until the critiques start coming in of course!!!!!

Yes, I took a break on the query letter to write the synopsis, it is equally as maddening but I am getting through it a little better!

Well I have sat on this manuscript for a long time. From beginning to end, it took about seven months. Keep in mind I have a 103K manuscript!
