Stuff plus The Great Agent Search Report #4

Today was mostly a good day. First off, my editor emailed me about DX, my Crimson City Anthology Story. He loved it. Yay!! I have two revision suggestions from him, the King of revisions. I read through DX today and plan to make some additional changes. I can definitely see where he's going with the revisions he did ask for. He's really good. I confess, I read his letter a few times just to bask in the compliments.

Also, someone emailed me today about The Spare, which is was really nice to hear.

I had another agent packet to prepare tonight, this one said OK to send as Word attachments so I had to spend some time re-living the nightmare that is Word. Why on earth would any writer want to torture herself with this *$*)$!@ application? Argh!! Word Perfect, people. Please. And don't even think to suggest that it's just because I don't know Word. I work with Microsoft Applications all day long, and just about all of them display the exact same we know better mentality that drives me insane with Word.

Anyway, I have revisions due, not sure when. I hope to have them done this weekend.

At this precise moment, I'm feeling better about the agent search. It's interesting to note that the last time around, when I had fewer credits, that also had a lot rejections at this point. I'm loving the email query bit. But I probably should be snail mailing, too.
