It’s getting easier to press the send button on query letters. Why? Well, because I realize that just because one agent says no, doesn’t mean the next won’t say yes! The worst that can happen when you query is that you get a note saying “It’s not right for me or my agency at this [...]
Okay, here we go on the Evolution of the Query… Take 2 on Deglan Rising.
Feel free to comment and let me know what you think… it’s a work in progress but it’s close Oh and go me, I finished Deglan Rising on Friday! Wooot!
QUERY: Deglan Rising
Ten years ago a legend was born, only [...]
I decided to share my query from start to finish for my MG novel. ALL comments are welcome and I do mean that. Hack it up, compliment, just say something. LOL My decision to share it comes with the fact the novel just went over the half way mark and the kids are still loving [...]

I, Eisley Jacobs, do solemnly swear to complete my MG novel by June 30, 2010.
Why… because it’s so darn fun! I had the idea for this novel while driving around town. I think I was somewhere in Southeastern Littleton or Northern Centennial when I had the idea… and it hit me like a baseball flying [...]
I received a partial request… and I am immediately thankful I already started my first person rewrites… Sweeet!
The funniest/craziest part of this request… I didn’t query for it.
No, true story! Honest!
I did query HER… sorta, if you could call that a query I sent. It was more like a “Umm yah, here is the deal [...]

Having sent a partial to an agent before I left, I knew I needed to really [...]

It’s my birthday week… yes, I am turning older… a whole year older. How does that happen?
In any event, if I don’t make goals for the week, things aren’t going to go as well as they could. Turning older takes thought and consideration. If I don’t have it written down, I just might think too [...]

You know when someone pokes you REALLY hard… it makes you jump and maybe scream like a school aged child? And maybe it even hurts a little but after you rub it for a second you are good to go…?
But the reason they poked you, totally worth it… right?
Well okay, not always… but maybe sometimes. [...]
Now comes the hard part… wait wait wait.
What am I talking about… well, so glad you asked.
On Monday an agent (one we will call “Lovely Agent”) tweeted that she was being quite the pushover… so everyone should query her today.
Ohh! Lovely Agent, it just so happens that you are on my top five “To Be [...]

Tuesday we find out if I made it to the next round of ABNA…
I am not sure if I’m more happy or shocked really. I can’t believe it’s already been a month but I am glad I don’t have to wait much longer.
In other news, I think I have decided to record myself reading the [...]
UNDER CONSTRUCTION... please don't mind the mess.
