Like a fellow commenter I am wondering about the query shark I have an almost finished story (three scenes to write that are already outlined/researched) that I need to start working on the query for. I should be finished with the book in two weeks but I'm waiting on some editing.
Is it too soon to send in a query to query shark and when is it okay? Can you send one in anytime?
I thought I had become more comfortable with a query after all the research and reading I've been doing. I've read all of your query sharks and as much as possible elsewhere.
However, as soon as I went to start it, my mind went blank, my heart raced and I became short of breath and no, it wasn't from excitement. Try, panic attack! I have a really good romantic thriller. I know this one is good - even great maybe. Yet, I can't seem to get the dang query started much less written. I don't get it.
I would love to send it in and have it disassembled. Maybe knowing it isn't my final draft will help me get pen to paper so to speak.
My mom asked me to email her some of the stuff I have been working on. I have sent my stuff to practically everyone I know (even some random stranger that wanted to be writing partners), but I am terrified to send it to my mom...(oh, and you).
Keep your comments succinct. Any comment that runs longer than 100 words is generally too long.
If you're commenting more than three times a day, it's too much.
Civility is enforced. Spelling/grammar mistakes may be pointed out ONLY in the blog post itself, not in any of the ensuing commenter's contributions.
If your comment doesn't show up, it's most likely that Blogger ate it. Try posting again using a GoogleID. (comment moderation is on only for older posts)
