I think she tore her abductor and quadriceps muscles in one leg because of spasms. A muscle relaxer helps but relaxes other muscles soon.She is worth it. She knows where I keep my softer side.Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-10685186261896641562019-04-12T20:34:16.519-04:002019-04-12T20:34:16.519-04:00Lennon - yay for the cat.

That is okay, I know I look at the world differently than most. All it will take is one who sees things somewhat like I do.<br /><br />I also think that querying writers should look at all agents as if they were about that writer, not the one and done types.<br /><br /><b> Lennon</b>, glad you have something to give you a nice start for the weekend. I do too. I got Kathy out of the hospital this morning. Somehow she has a cracked pelvis. We are still trying to get our heads around that. There is nothing that has happened to her that should have caused it. Her bone loss isn't that bad and nothing traumatic has happened.<br /><br />Anyway, her leg did the freak and it took three tries to get a muscle relaxer that worked. It will be a hover over her weekend.Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-38771938991529146542019-04-12T17:09:18.506-04:002019-04-12T17:09:18.506-04:00Janet's advice is probably right, unless you&#...Janet's advice is probably right, unless you're running into an agent who represents the work, not the writer. In that case, you should of course let the agent read the other work, but I don't think you stop querying it until you have an offer on that specific work.

My diabetic cat tried to die on us yesterday, but we brought him back and he is now looking out the window, pissed off at me but content with life again. So I am hoping the rest of this weekend will be smooth for everyone. <br /><br />Good luck, OP, and have fun querying!
