Also, I'm still out on sub with my ms, hoping for great things. So that's where I'm at right now.<br /><br />I hope your meetings at the conference go well, and good luck for when you do start submitting your query. I'll cross my fingers for you :).<br /><br />Ninja GirlNinja Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901215698632029838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-21118838860278739802013-10-02T17:43:47.713-05:002013-10-02T17:43:47.713-05:00I had stuff to say, but then I saw the pics of Yvi...I had stuff to say, but then I saw the pics of Yvie and Gummy Sue and went all 'awwww'. :)Charmaine Clancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18059559142070140041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-19745643152574905132013-10-02T16:07:29.307-05:002013-10-02T16:07:29.307-05:00I think it's so much scarier sitting face to f...I think it's so much scarier sitting face to face with someone who's going to judge you. I went through SO many auditions as a teen, and every single one was nerve wracking, no matter how well I'd prepared or how sure I was of a spot. I think sitting in front of a LIVE agent is pretty much the same thing. Best of luck!

I was so crazed about it. I'd queried before, but my current novel cost me something to send out into the world, so I get how you're feeling right now. <br /><br />First: Good luck. Second: Yay Query land! (and you could enter the MSFV SA October for some first page feedback).

I received an acceptance on it, then realised that it was because I'd reached the stage of querying presses so small I could do just as good a job myself.stuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388674850920848503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-32901847719995950452013-10-02T07:42:42.506-05:002013-10-02T07:42:42.506-05:00I sent something out once.

It's only 2 weeks. If it were 2 months, I'd be kicking your butt to get sending! :)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439499929311889062.post-7494072160657496512013-10-02T07:05:40.813-05:002013-10-02T07:05:40.813-05:00Well said!
