Firsts

Today: my first request for a full, within half an hour of submitting sample chapters!  Fingers crossed. Hope she likes it...

Also today: my first form letter rejection, from a different agent.  I sinned and sent him an impersonal query.  Could he tell?  Did he care?  I'll never know, but now I have a new superstition. Damn it.  

Anyway, from what I've read, it can take anywhere from 1 day to over a year to get a response from an agent, as many of these guys get upwards of 50 queries a day.  (And they try to sift through all of them, unless you really suck, I guess, and they can tell its not worth trudging past that first paragraph.)    

My fretful self is keeping busy, meantime.
