GOAL!!! 100 Agent submissions by Halloween

The deal...
Alright then!  I have officially decided to set a deadline.  I am giving myself until Halloween of this year to email and snailmail 100 query letters to literary agencies for my mystery/suspense manuscript: Sense Memory.

A detailed account of my submission trials and tribulations will be kept at the above link, "Tracker," next to the "Home" link.

I have even gone so far as to create a timer at the bottom of the blog to keep track of how many submissions I have sent and how much time I have left.  And how long did it take me to do all this?  Well, lets just say that if I had actually used that time to send submissions, I would have two more than I do currently.

Hmmm...what else can I do to waste time and sabotage myself on my way to the finish line???

Oh look, a picture of the world's smallest monkey!!!

    Geez, you're worse than I am. The world's smallest monkey? Really?? lol

    I agree with the above... just keep submitting. It's just a matter of time because you are an awesome writer. You've just got to let the folks who publish these things know it! I guarantee... it's going to happen! Now... submit! rofl

  4. It's raining - so you're probably writing. Are you planning to post a story (or a chapter) on the blog?
