By the seat of my pants

Thank you all for your feedback on the new site design! I can only take credit for the idea behind it, but I’m thrilled with the results.

I’m actually getting ready to go to a writer’s conference across the state in, oh, less than 2 hours, which is an hour later than I had planned on leaving. I may get the opportunity to pitch my novel to an agent while I’m there, and I’ve been flying by the seat of my pants to prepare. (A few days ago I was on her “undecided” list, which is better than “no”…but I won’t find out if I made the cut until I get there this evening.) Thank goodness (?) I have 4 hours in the car to figure it out.

And, if the appointment doesn’t pan out, or it does and I end up being the worst Pitcher she’s ever seen, I will still have attended a great conference and now have a polished query and synopsis that I’m comfortable with. I can begin mailing them out next week.

On a side note, my neck and shoulders are so tense from the last 2 weeks of cranking at high gear I’m afraid my upper body may snap off. But I’m excited. I’ll let you know how the weekend goes. After that, I guess it’s up to the universe.
