:)

I had a request to review my manuscript, from an agency in New York. Fingers crossed. It's the Yancy novel. I can't believe I started that nearly three years ago. I was up late last night, preparing it to submit. I had needed to revamp the synopsis. It had been a while since I'd looked at that one, and it showed. I think that was the first synopsis I had ever written. It was five pages long and had too many unnecessary descriptions. I was happier with it when I finished editing. It was still a bit long but the novel's long.

I'm still currently working on the fourth novel in the vampire series. My college friend, Ashleigh, got back to me last night and said she liked the first book. :) Another encouragment that I gladly accepted. I had complained to my friend Laura about how I'm such a bitter reader now. I read all the time (ask anyone), which spurs me on to keep searching for the agent who'll take me on. Hopefully sooner than later, I'll stop being so bitter, lol.

I chuckled last night because it had been a little while since I had read Yancy's story. I found little snippets I had put in and didn't remember. And then I reminded myself I still need to revisit Reggie's story...

It is a bit energizing to have a request. From that last round of e-queries, I had received a no already. I'm still waiting to hear from the third. Perhaps Thursday, when I have the evening off, I'll get those two snail mail queries sent out. I forgot about those.
