Queryitis: Slow Progression
Wednesday, January 29th, 2014 12:33 pmAnother query sent! Done last night, but it's a snail-mail-preferring agent, so it was off to the Post Awful this morning.
It really does take me an astonishingly long time to do one of these things. I like to read everything I can find about an agent, and an 80+ page Absolute Write thread does take some perusing, but even so, sheesh! That ate the whole evening.
(I did manage to write a bit afterward, despite the inevitable foul mood from the inevitable obstreperousness of technology whenever one is preparing something important. V. pleased with myself for that. Most of it wasn't on the chapter I'm supposed to be finishing, of course, but on the next chapter, but still: words. Words good.)
That's query-quota for the month. Now to buckle down and finish word-count quota.
Speaking of words, I sent off another short story on Monday. Almost forgot to mention that, in light of Something Else which I will hopefully be able to post about soon.
