And then I got an excellent book on editing and am really wishing I would have gotten it BEFORE I sent out the fulls... Oh well. Maybe one of the 18 will eventually get back to me and I'll be able to dazzle them with my recently revised masterpiece. *Snort* :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-27001491591275960702008-08-17T03:02:00.000-06:002008-08-17T03:02:00.000-06:00heh You're right.

I probably have a good two to three months before my current WIP is ready to query.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-58484561994080006352008-08-14T21:11:00.000-06:002008-08-14T21:11:00.000-06:00How many requests for partials/fulls have you gott...How many requests for partials/fulls have you gotten total? I sent out 20 queries and have gotten 5 rejections so far. I hate waiting, so I think I might send out some more...just to give myself something to do while I sit on tenterhooks...Carolyn Kaufman | @CMKaufmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715666518147779502noreply@blogger.com
