thewatchmakerI got a request for a full manuscript for my Urban Fantasy novel set during the Great San Fransisco Earthquake. I am putting the novel I've been working aside for a week (hopefully that's all) to rewrite the end of the requested manuscript.
If I'm RPing with you, I may be slow in my replies. Editing uses a different part of the brain, and it's hard to shift back to creative/musing...
For those who don't know how finding an agent works:
1 - you send a query letter to a million agents
2 - some of them ask for partials - pages, chapters, samples
3 - you sit around on your ass for months waiting for replies
4 - a few request the full (the entire manuscript)
5 - you wait, you get depressed, you get hopeful, you WAIT
6 - if you don't bag an agent, you start all over again after you rewrite the novel or write a new one.
