I was asked how I keep track of the agents I query. I figured others wonder the same thing so I am writing this post I have a book I write the name of the agent, the date I queried that agent and when I should hear something back if they want to know more. If I get a rejection letter or the date that I should have heard something has past I put rejection under the should hear by date. As you can see I have used this for a few years.  The book has been around for a while it's pretty beat up from all the uses it has had. I am still using it.                                                   I know what the next question is, "How do you keep track of when you got the query?" I print the rejection letters if the agents send one and put it in a folder, but if not I assume the date I should hear back is the rejection date.  Now I am not sure if I have said this in another blog, if I have it's worth repeating. I query multiple agents at one time. They only ones

 I have had a nasty head cold last week, as we all know a cold is not the worse I could have had. But when you are not feeling well it's really hard to write. I just wanted to sleep the whole time, but I know that would not work due to all my responsibilities I have. So I got up and got my kids off to school everyday, did what housework I had and tried to write.   I have looked at what I wrote last week, some of it is ok but not for this story. Then some was really really bad. I have been weeding out the bad stuff and moving the stuff that doesn't work with this story. This is going to be a long process, so no new writing until I fix last weeks work. I think I have procrastinated enough Happy reading Happy writing

 The weather here has been crazy, 70's one day freezing the next. It's been nuts for February and March. I am tired of the weather, I wish it would make up its mind already.   Because of the weather life got a little busier than normal. We had a couple runs to the urgent care due to ear infections, sinus infections and of course one time with strep. All this on top of dentist appointments, orthodontist appointments for the kids, then a doctor appointment for my son ( just a normal check up because of his ADD meds).   I have also been trying to lose weight, I have been walking for awhile now but my loving hubby bought an elliptical for me to use. I have been using it every other day(mon,wed,fri,sun, tues,thurs, sat......) and I am up to 13 mintue work outs. Iam hoping it will help with my weight and energy level.   I am writing but not as much as I wanted but since life seems to be calming down some I should beable to write more. Well I am off to write on one of my ideas
