First step down: In this past week I have been cutting and merging two manuscripts into one, and writing a five page synopsis of the new novel. Today I sent off the synopsis and the first five chapters to the agent who requested them last weekend at the writers conference. Now I continue to weave the two into one, while I wait to see if Ashley Gray Agency wants to sign me. If they do, I want the entire ms. finished and waiting.
If they don't, it will be ready to query to other agents, but I have a good feeling, simply based on the volume of what was requested.
The very agent I spoke with said her usual request is a one page synopsis and the first five pages of a novel she might be interested in. To ask for so much more is a very good omen. What is especially telling is that when she asked for this, she had not seen a single word I had written; she based her decision on my conversation with her. She said if I wrote as well as I spoke....
I am determined to have the two ms. blended into one before September, so I'm still not online much, not ANYwhere. But I wanted to share with you.....you all mean a lot to me, you know!
Wish me luck.
