I love your idea of making each paragraph a mini cliffhanger so you build in tension. Got to try that next time!Shalleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09907680428735740943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509009608138236950.post-7627626921747589292011-09-08T16:12:46.598-06:002011-09-08T16:12:46.598-06:00Ugh, I haven't gotten to this point.

Bleh. It is so stressful to go through all of this. I love the information you have gathered though. I am hoping to start querying a PB in October. It actually makes me physically ill to think about. BUT... it's part of the process and we can't get where we want to be without traveling that road! I'm sure you will do an amazing job. Best of luck!
