Query Letter Editing...

It's time. 2009 has left and with it, all excuses to NOT get this done. It's a new year, a new chance, a new set of people to contact... no excuses.

In my defense, I just started sending query letters out in the end of October. And I sent two. Two.

Ahem, but you have to start somewhere, right?

 My friend (whom I warmly call my "Fantasy Friend") and I got together on Tuesday and wrote down each others goals. Which unforunately means I have some accountability to said goals here in the real world. Not that the net or twitter isn't real, but I have a living breathing epidermis girl here to smack me over the head.

My first goal is quite easy... in theory.

I have till March 20th to send out 20 query letters. Which then means I have to come up with the perfect query letter that someone will actually want to pick  up.

So yes, in theory, it's a pretty decent and attainable goal. In theory.

Those of you who have an agent, can you remember those first steps riddled with anticipation disguised as nausea? Yah, umm, so there.

It takes a lot to put yourself out there. But if I want to complete all my goals in 2010, I must! So, without further adieu... I am diving into editing the query letter.
