They call themselves Neoagents, and even have a podcast to prove it. (A neoagent is someone who has been agenting for less than five years and is actively looking to build his or her list.) I found them both to be thoughtful, hilarious, and very personable. So, if you are looking to query a couple of awesome agents, add them to your list.
The other thing that put me in a good mood was that I rewrote my first chapter under the gun, because I wanted to enter it in the Sandy Writing Contest. One of my writing group friends, Cheryl Coupe, came in third place last year in the Children's & YA section, and recommended this contest highly. The deadline was yesterday evening, and I made it with 24 hours to spare. I guess I work well with a deadline in my sights.

| Got to get that contest entry in |
It has also been a year since my first blog post. Next Saturday I'm hosting a blog party and will be giving away a prize (or even two.) All you'll have to do is be a follower, old or new, and leave a comment. In the meantime, I'll have to get a tech-savvy friend to show me how I can get fireworks to burst on the screen.
I'l be here again on Wednesday to talk about muddled middles. Hope to see you then.
Fireworks sound nice...and a little dangerous...which just makes it better.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the contest and skype thing. Sounds like a great opportunity and I am just a wee bit jealous, but I contain it and wish you continued luck and success.

Thanks for the comment, Charlie. I bet virtual fireworks are possible--if you have the tech skills.
ReplyDeleteYou really did have an awesome week! May the rest of the year prove as fruitful. :)
