It happened again. This time I am not sure what I am supposed to cozen. Do you recall that crazy story when I emailed my inquiry to twenty agents pitching my unfinished novel? One agent rejected, some wanted to see the first chapter and no one else answered, remember? So, I am back to the sort nightmare. Two days ago I received a request from another operator. This time it is not just the first chapter, but five!
When I opened that email and comprehend it, I was excited. I was very proud of my invention and my query. My story is good enough to attract reflection! My query rocks! Then I realized that I DO NOT HAVE A BOOK. My shoulders slumped. I sat into a denser consistence and wanted to weep. So, what do I do now? Do I obtain into the agitated editing state as I did before? Do I toothed away this precious request, finally write the book and re-inquiry? It is a tough decision.
What are my chances of acquirement a request for a full manuscript? Really slim. But it is likely (or so I like to think). If I do get a beg for for a full, then what? Do I write a very mortify and apologetic letter confessing all the idiotic mistakes I committed, entirely the naive dreams I had, and ask, beg, pray for time to polish the book? I can only imagine what will come in response… if anything at all. Do agents have some kind of a “witless authors” list where they write down names of writers like me because their future reference?
I don’t know what I am going to accomplish. I might edit the pages and email them. I might happy take my time, finish the book and hope that when I re-interrogatory again, I will get some interest.
Meanwhile, I will tell you this:
1. Don’t subsist stupid and don’t query an agent before you actually polishing your book.
2. For your own sake, finish that book!
3. Learn from someone other’s mistakes (mine!) instead of learning from your own.
