lizvogelCrammed in a final push tonight, which brought my total querying time to 40 hours 15 minutes. That's a quarter of an hour over my self-imposed target of 2 hours per every non-Day-Job day in November, despite losing five days to the rescue flight to Canada and ensuing maintenance of the Hobbling Housemate.
Feeling pretty damn good about that, and also that my last session included querying an agent who sounds pretty great. Hopefully ninjas, grues, and a cyborg platypus is just what she always wanted to see in her inbox, but even if not, I've done my bit.
There's a couple more agents I want to check out for this round, then I think I'm going to let things sit on the querying front and see how this batch goes. The housemate wrangling promises to eat an extraordinary amount of time, the Day Job's upped my hours again, and there are short stories I should be sending out.
So, overall, NaNoQueryMo was a good choice. I only got 9 queries sent (yeah, I'm slow, and picky), but it's 9 more than I would've done otherwise. And despite tonight's late-night push, I haven't killed myself doing it. Works for me.
