Next week I'm going to be funny and engaging. Next week I'm going to laugh about the mad scramble. Next week I'm going to pretend I never wanted to be a writer.
But first, I have to send in a requested FULL.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I made the mistake (fortunate or unfortunate) of twitter pitching an agent at WriteOnCon. She asked to see some pages, and so I had to run them through my group of beta readers. Well, the response was good, and one even encouraged me to start querying. So I did.
Now--after receiving the request from my targeted (and probably dream) agent, I'm a nervous wreck. The next two days will be spent making last minute grammar changes, not sleeping, and staring with angry eyes at that beta reader's response. Maybe I'll thank her. Maybe I won't. Regardless, it's done.
Therefore, if I am a tad bit preoccupied, you'll forgive me. I'll be back soon my wonderful bloggy friends, and anxious (no doubt) to keep my mind off the impending disaster/miracle that awaits this agent's response.
Have you been through this before? How long did you take before sending in your manuscript? AND, what did you change last minute?
