Mood: Excited and nervous

What I'm Listening to: CNN on TV

So, it's late and I just finished what I think might be the final revisions of the new book. I may look over it again tomorrow but time is running out. Why? Because a few days ago I heard about an agent, an agent I'm very interested in, that is taking query's in the comment of her blog. One paragraph about the project, one paragraph about me and then my contact info. Here's the kicker: her deadline is Friday. And it's Tuesday... well, Wednesday, if we're being technical. That leaves me two days until she doesn't want to hear it anymore.

Which is fine because my paragraphs are done, (unless I freak out and change them... again) and as I said, I think I'm done editing. I also feel like I might be sick, but whatever, you know? It's all part of the game, I think.

Honestly, people, I'm nervous. Like butterflies-with-spiked-wings-in-the-stomach nervous.

I love this book. I do. Even if I do freak out and call my best friend, who has read every page, (I love her) and freaked out because I momentarily hate it, I still love it. But really, what do I know? I'm just a Wannabe Author.

I plan to send my query in the next day or two. I'll keep the blog updated. Then of course, when I hear something, good or not, I'll post it. Rejection is part of the process, although I'm hoping to avoid it, I understand it. I think. Okay, I know it will suck. Really bad.

Off to not sleep now.
