8 pages in one day! Some days the words just fall out, others require a drill bit and a hacksaw. Fortunately, today was the former.

Still in a holding pattern on the most recent round of querying. As I’m working through my list of agents, every month a few more pop up on my radar screen. And that’s a good thing.

An obstacle I’m learning to navigate is the literary agent assistant. Many agents have them, and they are the first line of defense between a writer and the prospective agent.

I was rejected by one agent a few months back, so I tried a different person at the same agency. Being that it was a large shop it seemed reasonable. Lo and behold, the reply came back from the same agent who rejected me before. It turned out that this former agent was now an assistant to 2 agents at the same house. Talk about preaching to the choir!
