querying update...the patience game

It has been not more than two weeks and I am growing impatient while I wait for my great agent (who seems to be still unknown) to reply to my query letters and ask for sample chapters. Often in this industry, agents asking for samples come by so rare and asking for manuscripts even scarcer. I've revamped my query from a very detailed almost synopsis like to a mushed down teaser with a voice to a concise less than 150 word voice-full letter. Well I hope my voice does come around on one of the agents, I've emailed. Because I am so racking my brains out and trying yoga classes just to maintain patience. And true enough, I can't seem to divert my attention elsewhere. Although I do have to learn how to make flash websites for my restaurant's website cause its still in plain HTML. I just can't move without a response. Honestly, I think if I just grabbed my agent already, I can really just sit back and focus on the other subjects at hand and what I really like doing.

Reading a ton of blogs is certainly or is unlikely making me for forget my manuscript waiting inside my hard drive. Blah!

querying update

Just sent a batch of queries to agents who have a field in multi culture and YA but not totally into fantasy. My friend said I should at least query them since my agent lists are running thin.
I've sent out a new fresh query, although I don't know if its stellar or not. But at least, I've given my best shot after being critiqued in AQuery.com and reading some blogs from the Query Shark. Of course I've even enlisted the aid of my sister, who is a reader and likes to see the real in things. Anyways, I've come up with a query which I think should at least be given an attention to.

bye for now :)
