I just sent out my first query to find an agent. [View all]

I sent out two today. I'm working on my excel spreadsheet so I can keep rejections and requests under control.

I spent just over two years writing, rewriting, editing and editing. There was a lot to learn about writing a novel. I think I did a good job and I hope others will as well.

Just poured myself a nice tall glass of fresh squeezed lemonade with raspberries and vodka. Cheers to me!
