Something's Working

Soooo, five minutes and six seconds past four o'clock today, the time and date read:

04:05:06 07/08/09

Pretty cool, huh? Yeah. It is.

Anyhoo, not much else to say except that I got another partial request yesterday.

Stats
Queries: 5 sent, 2 requests, 0 rejections
Partials: 2 sent, 1 rejection

So it looks like my query is working, it hasn't been rejected yet and has garnered two partial requests, both the following day after querying! But one agent who requested a partial already decided to pass- I'm hoping that my partial wasn't dreadful, and that it just did not fit their list.

GAH! OH GOD, WHAT IF MY PARTIAL IS DREADFUL??????

Guess now comes the hard part... waiting. And waiting. Then perhaps a bit more waiting.

Sigh.

My question for you: What stage of the writing/publishing process are you all on? Writing, Rewriting, Editing, Querying, etc?

  1. Editing/revising! You know, when I'm not blogging...

  2. I'm still writing. Hoping to be done by the end of the summer.

    By the way, it was also pretty cool just after 12:30pm when the time read 12:34:56 7/8/9 :)

  4. I have a whole bunch of queries sent. Two partials out now and already had about 5-7 rejections. Not bad considering the amount I sent. One rejection was very polite though =D

    On that writing side I am still doing edits on my current project and also fixing up my first novel. Plus the countless side stories and outlining my next novel! Yeah I'm keeping busy!

    Congrats to your stats! That's really good! Hope this partial turns to a full!

  5. Grats in the new request!

    I'm waiting, too. Supposed to get my line edit back this week. Then I have to dive back into editing/revising/working on query/sysnopsis.

    I'd rather just crawl in a hole, actually. :D
