2 more agents checked and queried. Also, 1 rejection from one of the Agents I queried this morning! I just got lucky (!) with the swift reply or else he’s not got a lot on at the moment!

There will be fewer blog posts until something happens. There is simply a lot of waiting until Agents reply to your query. I don’t propose to do the ‘got up. Sleepy. Get a coffee. Shower. Read emails. Make toast. Etc. etc. etc. etc.’ because I am not that kind of guy and anyway it would

I have decided. I need to query more agents in each ‘batch’ because otherwise, I will be over a year querying them all! Time for a re-visit to Query Manager.

There is a sense of anticipation, waiting for a literary Agent’s response but at the same time I feel an anti-climax. My days were spent writing that book for a year then suddenly…there is nothing to write. In fact, I need something to do, if I can’t query all the agents. I might be waiting
