I’ve been staring at the clock over my PC for the last five minutes wondering what to blog about, then I decided to start blogging and see what happens.

I’m going back to my short list of agents and organize the list and add another name or names to it for contact at a later date. I’ve read that two weeks for a response from a prospective agent is the norm procedure. This Thursday will be two weeks.

However, since I queried in the middle of the week, the agent’s office is in NYC and there was a holiday, I’m allowing two more business days before trying another agent, pushing it to Tuesday of next week. It’s ill advised to call an agent unless you’re a client, so I have no way of knowing if they got my query letter in the first place.

Now mind you, I understand why agents do this, particularly if you’re reading my blog, prospective agent. If you have 100 query letters to read a week and perhaps only 5 pique your interest enough to ask for more, I doubt I would be anxious to read them either.

Anyway – I’ll be funny tomorrow again. Right now I need more coffee.
