Query virgin

I’ve been a naughty gal. I haven’t updated my blog nearly as much as I should’ve lately. But I’ve been busy putting the finishing touches to my little baby, my novel. And guess what? I’m gonna start querying!

I’ve never queried before so am a complete query virgin. The thing that cracks me up about it all is the little squeak I let out when I press ’send’. All my hopes and dreams scurrying off into the Big Bad World of Agentdom *gulp* I lay awake at night, thinking “did I type ‘your’ instead of ‘you’re’” etc etc. I mean, I’ve been pretty thorough with the whole querying shebang, triple checked everything and done a lotta research. But still, it’s scary, scary, scary! (terrifying in case you didn’t get the gist from the repetition of the word ’scary’!)

So, fingers crossed. I don’t expect anything exciting. Of course, I have uber confidence in my little book but I’m also British so am therefore uber cynical. Let’s leave the optimism to those smiley people across the pond, okay (maybe I need an American agent?)

Am keeping my mind off it all by starting work on my next project about a dystopian rehab centre. More on that later.

Take care cherubs. x
