I've gotten quite a bit of writing done the last few days. This morning however, I was on a roll, and the words were flowing. Then half a page later I realised I'd switched tenses.
I hate it when that happens.

I have no idea what your book is about, but if I were you, I'd try writing one version of the query that stops just after that twist halfway through.
I'm terrible at writing queries, but I'm trying to practice by writing them for my WIPs, even the ideas I don't even have full plots for yet, and critting in QLH. Good luck!
Also, I'm rethinking self-e-pubbing and may wind up submitting this novel to agents/publishers all over again, now that it's sooooo much better than it was when I last submitted it...
Not sure what to do with my writing right now... All I can do is edit while I decide what I want to do.
The people I interviewed with yesterday have called me in for a third interview. That's fantastic but... they want me to do a 15 minute presentation. I hate doing presentations, especially to people I don't know very well. And I've only got a day to prepare.
I feel sick.
D'oh! (Yup, I've been there before, too)Then half a page later I realised I'd switched tenses.

That's always a fun discoveryThen half a page later I realised I'd switched tenses.
OOOooh, exciting big decisions. I'm totally new to submitting/publishing and therefore incredibly curious: how long ago did you try submitting? How many agents did you query? Good luck with whatever you end up deciding!
Considering it's halfway into January, I probably shouldn't even bother with challenging myself this month with JanNo, but I've always failed in the past with NaNoWriMo and maybe it's about time to really push myself. I've done a heck of a lot of plot kinks and outlining for my current MS Ghost Girl. I have about 40K left to write. So if I write 2,666 words/day, I could hit the mark! Whilst 2,666 is about 11 pages long, I think it's within reach. Wish me luck! And, of course, good luck to all of you.
I have a job interview tomorrow!
And nothing to wear...
Hopefully going shopping tonight then...
