So, have been doing a lot of futzing around because I hate trying to fix something that really sucks, which the opening of ASH does. But, I managed to force myself to get through the new chapter one (yay!) and have started on the new chapter 2, got about halfway through and realized I'd chosen the wrong pov and so have just started over in the correct pov. Still, I have saved all the "wrong" pov stuff for use in a later chapter.

Emailed a query to another agent today. Should generate a quick rejection, but it's worth a shot. Also emailed Kate Friday re sending the whole MS. So, anyway. I'm in hurry up and wait mode. Must go back to chapter 2.
