A swing and a miss

The query score on Agent Hunt Round 2 stands as follows (as of 1100 hours today):

Rejections - 1, Requests - 0, Offers - 0, Still Pending - 7

The rejection came the same day I sent off the queries. But it was from an agent who I wasn't holding my breath for. It was one of those "might as well" type queries. The four top agents on the list have not responded. Thus, my inbox is filled with the melodious sounds of crickets chirping.

It's the weekend, so I'm not surprised. I figure agents have those little things called "personal lives" that they're attending to - as well they should. I don't write 24/7, I don't expect them to agent 24/7, either.

My hope is that it will mean they are well rested and in a generous mood when reading queries on Monday.

Best of luck! Fingers crossed for you.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, too! I'm sorry I never had the chance to take a stab at the QL but I read some of the comments later on that you got and they were all so helpful. I saved the entry to my memories section on LJ for when I'm ready to write my own QL. :)

I knew that you had a lot to get done, and you've helped me so much in the past with beta-reading and what not. If I'm ever in your neck of the woods, I owe you lunch (at least)!

I'm glad that my QL could be helpful to you, and it means a lot all the support you've given me, just want you to know that. :)
