Do I say it’s 65 in the podcast? It’s 66. Sorry.

The return of the interview! In this episode I interview Colette Vogele, IP lawyer and host of the Rules for the Revolution podcast. Something weird was with my mic, so the sound quality isn’t the best, and for that I apologize.

This morning I woke up - literally - with an anxiety attack. I realized that I’d been formatting my manuscript incorrectly… seriously. All that crap I tell you guys, and I’d been formatting MY mss incorrectly.

I’d been so careful to make my cover letter have all the important info. But not the cover page of the mss itself. Gah.

Oh well. I’m fixing it, laughing at myself, and hoping that if it’s good enough, I’m Google-able enough to be found if they want me.

Robert J. Sawyer’s Mss Guidelines (what I used to fix my novel)

(THIS is why I’m still a wannabe…)

(Oh yeah, new ISBW today, too)

I haven’t done just a plain old blog post here in a while, but I am feeling in the mood.

I am desperately trying to take Miss Snark’s advice. I sent out the last of the agent queries - I don’t know who else to query. Now I’m impatient. Some agents have had these queries for months. Instead of fretting, (say it with me) I should be writing.

Voice mail was FUBARed in my audio issues, including the voice mail from CA Sizemore - but his suggestion was to try media mail for the cheap mss sending.
