LOL! I missed all these messages! I have been so deep in query writing!
Well the Full Request I got didn't come to anything, so it's back to regular querying for me. Not the contest route.
And while it may be too late for me it's for DanielaTorre!
I have to say I really don't understand a lot of those pitchmad/pitchnest whatever, contests. I have to say, I would happily give up the sparkly bunny giffs for clear instructions on HOW TO ENTER...
Don't worry. I've only ever enter 2. I have to read the contest rules a gazillion times to get it right too. Hell, even when I received the agent submission instructions, I fudged one of them up because I was either really nervous, or they were kind of skewed.
Twitter has been a great tool for me to meet and greet and to keep current with agent opportunities, even if you don't comment on the regular. I'm not a contest kind of person either, and all of my requests have come through traditional querying, but I did this one on whim.
Don't stress with querying. Eventually you'll grow numb and it'll become a bit mechanical, sadly. Good luck on querying.
