A new school year has started. Without children around, I have had to come up with new and creative ideas to keep from writing. Alas, it hasn\’t worked and so I have actually been working on getting the book done and the queries ready to go out to some carefully researched agents. It\’s a hard line to walk. You have to research agents and publishers, but where is the line between researching and stalking? I say that because a year ago, I had an agent request some of my novel. Unfortunately, the pages she received were, well, boring. So a year later, after massive cuts and revision, I have to wonder. She liked the idea, would she give me a second chance? Would you, if you were up and coming cool young agent?
