Book Stuff
I know I like to make mention in my blog about how I'm awesome. But I really think I am... I have apparently very high-self esteem, and I am very proud of things that I have accomplished.
This is definitely another one of those kinds of blog posts. I'm seriously awesome.
I wrote a book not too long ago, and I'm not very pleased with how it ended up. I sent out some query letters, and there was not very much of a response. I ended up getting another idea for a book, and I started writing it, and I'm pleased with it right now.
So, then, I figured I might as well do a little bit of querying, since the publishing season is kind of winding down right about now. I figured I'd query an agent that gives very quick turnaround to email queries (less than 24 hours, usually).
He requested a partial of my new, not exactly finished book.
Uh huh, bitches, that's right. This NEVER happens. It's certainly not a guarantee that he will represent me and sell my book to a publisher and end up making a mint off his commissions because I'm selling like hotcakes, but it's the first step on that journey. It's much better than "merf, whatever, do not care go away".
I'm awesome. I love life right now.
