I've received two requests for fulls, but I'm not totally comfortable putting who they're from. Most of you know or can figure it out...I don't know. Guess there's just something I have about jinxing it if I write it out in a public forum! I'll definitely add the names if/when I get a rejection or *gasp*...something else! Till then:
2 fulls out

But those are pretty good stats, just the same. You heard fast. I've been dangling for ages.

No responses 55
Showed interest 1- Hartline-Terry Burns
Requests for proposal 1- AMG- Dan Penwell [waiting for response after four months now]

I've received ZERO rejections!
Ah hem, of course I've sent out ZERO queries at this point...
Gotta finish the manuscript first.

It's been a week and three days since the agent who has my full told me she "loves it" and asked me if I was still interested in representation. I told her I was and she said she still had to finish reading the ms and would get back in a few days with a "definite answer".
So I wait.
And tear out my hairs, one by one, by one.......
