Simple Mystery

Well, what a whirlwind day. Remember that rejection I blogged about oh, six hours ago?

Well, it wasn’t entirely a rejection. I mean, it was a no. But at the end of that no was a “Why don’t you contact this other agent? He likes mysteries.”

So, I did. I researched Mr. Other Agent, then sent him a query, mentioning that he had been recommended to me by Ms. First Agent. And darned if he didn’t e-mail me right back with a request for the first fifty pages.

So, the first partial has been dispatched into cyberspace, and I am keeping my fingers crossed. We’ll see if my “pro status” lasts through the emotional loop-de-loop that is the partial submission.
