So today’s the day I send hundreds of pages proposals & clips to my agent. I must admit, getting all this stuff together wasn’t as simple as I’d thought it would be…
The articles I’d published in magazines needed to be copied on a color copier–easy enough. But the articles I’d placed in e-zines and e-newsletters had to be ‘snagged’ (using SnagIt, a program I adore), cropped, printed and finally color-copied. And my printer is a 10-year-old antique, so you actually have to sit there an manually feed paper into it (the paper-catching mechanism is finicky), so that wasn’t fun.
But now that it’s (thankfully!) all done, I get to place these 700+ pages into a big box and mail them off to my agent in NYC.
Meanwhile, I work on my manuscript for 8-10 hrs every day, so progress is being made on the book itself. I don’t anticipate it being fully done until the end of the year, though…
