Query and Synopsis

Not as easy as it looks, writing a one page query letter to send to agents, hoping to snare one to represent me. The synopsis is even worse, jamming all the action of an eighty-three thousand word novel into three pages. I did it, have reviewed, edited, reviewed, edited. Now to let it smolder a few days, then begin the process again.

I expect to have a finished product to send out later this week. Diving nose-first into the slush and loving every minute of it. It is fortunate that I have a full-time job that only requires three days a week. Makes for long hours those days, but allows me plenty of time for fun stuff like this.

I am playing with titles. 'Good Rat' or 'Baked Maac and Rat'. Maac, by the way, is the spelling I intended.

Good Rat

I have finally finished my fantasy novel, Good Rat, and will be sending queries to agents over the next few days. An excerpt will be on this blog soon.
