14 months ago
it came sooner than I was expecting! 2 1/2 weeks, not bad! I wonder if I’ll start hearing from other agents soon?

goddamnit, when I gt home today, I’m gonna EMAIL someone! I don’t know whuy but suddenly I think I have the nerve to do it. Putting together a summary will still be difficult. I’m thinking that could be becasue I’m not exactly sure what makes for a good summary…. like…. should I give away the ending of the story or leave them hanging? How long should it be? WTF?
Bah, I’m emailing someone. I have a list! I need to do this! If I don’t, yell at me, berate me, tell me I’m a fat lazy bitch who will never get published, never get famous and make a million dollars, never win the nobel prize and never see Masters turned into a movie starring Kiera Knightley. Yeah. I need to do it! XP
