And they could still say no.<\/p>\n
BUT.
\nBUT.

I finished the first round edits on AbO the wee hours of sunday morning. So sunday afternoon – before I lost my nerve, I took all the info I’d been gathering on agents and query letters, and decided to get my feet wet. I picked five (my top two, plus three others) and sent out email queries.<\/p>\n
The fastest listed response time was 2 weeks. So I forgot about them (kinda. *L*) and then. THEN. when I got up this morning, I found THIS. [edited version. hee.]<\/p>\n
Dear [lessa],<\/p>\n
I am very intrigued by your query for ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY and would love to read more. Please send the first 100 pages of your manuscript……
\n…..
\n….I look forward to reading your work.<\/p>\n
Best,
\n[the agent]<\/p>\n
AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!
\nBOUNCEBOUNCE!<\/p>\n
Yes. She could still very well say no.
\nBUT.
\nThat’s one request in less then 24 hours.

OMFGOMFGOMFGOMFG!<\/p>\n
Keep your fingers crossed people! I’ll be mailing out those first 100 pages soon!<\/p>\n
HOLYSHITHOLYSHITHOLYSHIT!<\/p>\n
