I have some questions about query letters.
How long are they supposed to be, word count wise?
How do you work out a novel's stakes?
Is it normal for y'all to doubt your writing while in the midst of it? Then, maybe, once you come around, have a few drinks, squint your eyes, look at it again and think, 'hey, maybe it's not so sucky, after all?'
Ack, sorry to hear about your illness. We had that going around in Minnesota. Good to hear you're going back to writing, and hope you hit it running. Also, I love the cover for 'My Sister's Reaper'; artsy and evocative.
Feel better, Dorothy!

Hi! I was pretty active around these parts a couple of years ago but then started a job that sucked up all my time and I've only recently re-committed to my writing. There's nothing more valuable than chatting with people who write the same genre I do, so I hope you all don't mind if I poke my head in every now and then.
So exciting!Sage!!! I just got a request on Twitter from L0u1$3 Fury to send my stuff. Eeeep! I asked if she'd ever be open to unsolicited stuff, and she told me to send my work Not querying yet though....just found out R&R agent has the flu
Hope you feel better soon. I just got over something that was definitely respiratory, but I recovered amazingly quickly (though I will be coughing for weeks, thanks to asthma)Hey everyone! I'm just getting over an upper respiratory viral infection. Been home sick since Tuesday, which would have been lovely if I had gotten more writing done, but I was just too darn ill to sit at the computer too long. Only got 2K written in three days, but I'm feeling a little better today, so I'm going to try for another couple thousand. We'll see how it goes.
