Tips for the Querying Writer

[meaganspooner]

It’s a weird feeling, starting a new book while querying the previous one. Part of this is because I’m new to querying in general, and that is weird in and of itself--but the biggest strangeness is having my brain split between two projects. I’ve never been someone who can read multiple books at once, and certainly not someone who can write

I love your list. I've only sent out a few queries. I was lucky enough to get some wonderful feedback that sent me back to the revising table for a bit. thanks for the tips! :)

Actually, I enjoy hearing about your querying process. It`s something that I will have to go through someday, so I might as well know as much as I can about it >.<

There`s nothing wrong with starting a new book. You need something to occupy your time and prevent yourself from checking your inbox 26473627485722 times an hour.

Aww, I'm glad! I joke about talking about it WAY too much, but the sad truth is I'm censoring myself quite a bit already. As my housemates can attest, I have a one-track mind. Luckily one of them is a writer as well, and the other is very good at tuning me out while making appropriately impressed noises as I babble.

And omg, yes. I mean, the deal with myself was always that I'd get to start writing HUNTED once TIW was out on queries, but I'm still so glad about it. I swear, it's my life boat. :P

I'm glad the querying-coping is going well :D

Hee. It'll settle down once I get used to it. It's a marathon not a sprint, etc. etc. I think the worst part about being a writer is having to be patient! :P
