Thnx for stopping by!<br /><br />Hey there Mindy! Thanks. :) And I happen to think nerds are VERY cool. LOL<br /><br />Rachel~ Hi there! You're welcome. And thanks for stopping by. That's so cool the you met Victoria's agent. <br /><br />Hello, Kerri! My surgery went great and I'm feeling pretty good today. It's so nice to have that pain in my ribs gone. <br /><br />Bethany, LOL! That's some cool Wonder Bread trivia there. ;)<br /><br />Jenny girl, hey there!It is an inspiration seeing how she never gave up. That's a lot of queries she had out.<br /><br />Hello, Cherie! I agree about Veronica's voice. It's no wonder she had all of those requests. And you're so sweet to say that about the blogasphere! I'm back today, but doubt I'll do any tweeting. Still waiting til Monday to do that. But I'll try to hit a few blogs in the interim. <br /><br />Sophia~ Hi! That title does rock, doesn't it? You're welcome, and thank you for stopping in.

If you are not getting any bites, get some critique help by posting at writing forums like Query Tracker. My query represents about 10 hours of rewriting, pondering and critiquing from two forums. Good luck to all. Anita, love your "Alice" story idea. Looking forward to getting my hands on a copy when it comes out.<br /><br />BTW, I just started a website @ ghostwalkergirl.wordpress.com.

And double kudos to Anita for posting it.<br /><br />This is the first time that I have a clear idea of the typical length of the query process and how many queries vs partial request ratios. I know it will vary but its a good general idea of how long the process can be.<br /><br />I think as an aspiring author, understanding the process helps the nerves tremendously.<br /><br />So thank you to both lovely ladies for shedding some light.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
