It helped me focus on what the main story is, and, when I finished, I just tweaked it a little to account for plot changes, etc. When it's actually ready to query, I may need to tweak it some more, but that's a whole lot better than starting from scratch. We'll see how that goes... :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-11649123113600390922013-10-30T10:09:01.755-04:002013-10-30T10:09:01.755-04:00Sorry, have to say it.

And you've got that nice toothy blog dedicated to it...<br /><br />I've actually heard of people, On the Internet, who write the query letter <i>first</i> and then the novel. I'm fairly sure they're a minority. <br /><br />(I'm not even querying you and I worry about what I say here. Seriously.)Jennifer R.
