On the Hunt

Phew. It's hot. Knocking 40 degrees for the last couple of days and more of the same for the next week. Even when I sit right next to the air con, it's like I'm in an oven. Not very conducive to writing! haha. Oh well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it (literally... eww ok too much info there)

Well it's That Time again. When I start looking for agents. I recently realised that when it comes to agent hunting, I am a bit of a wimp. I have a list of about 15-20 and that's about it - I then move on to my next project. I just heard of someone landing their agent after querying over 150 agents. Eek! After I picked my eyeballs up off the desk and adjusted my specs (and rearranged my brain which was having a fun time squelching inside my head) I decided this time I really have to be rather more proactive. So we'll see how I get on with that!

It's Australia Day today so it's barbeques all round. I'm off to light up the barbie and slap on the steak. Yum!

Hooray on getting back into the hunt, though somehow me thinks it isn't going to take 150 agents before you land your dream one!

I sure hope not, Amanda!

YAY!!!!!!!!! 150 is over and above the call of duty. And I agree with Amanda, it certainly won't take you that many....

You're not wrong about it being hot, Christina, even on the other side of Oz. I've been in the pool four times today - if I got paid for wallowing, I'd be a rich woman! And I think we're going to have a humungous storm tonight which is a bit scary too.

Anna, we had a huge storm the other night, and the next day it was hotter than ever!
