Happy (belated) new year everyone!
I revived this blog a year ago, and after a few months of neglect (this past semester was my most fun, but also the most stressful, semester yet!), I'm back! I just turned 20 on New Year's Day. Good bye teen years, hello twenties!
I really do wonder what the next ten years have in store for me.
I shall start this post with the gingerbread voodoo dolls that I baked on Christmas. My first time baking gingerbread--not too bad, I suppose. One of my friends thought they were gingerbread zombies. They can be thought of such as well. :)
I have been querying for over a month now. My partial is sitting in a couple of prestigious hands. I describe the feeling as this following recipe:
1 cup of exhilaration
1/2 cup of hope
1/4 cup of anxiety
1 tablespoon of childish impatience
1 teaspoon of dread
Just today, an amazing agent who touts an impressive client list requested the first 50 pages and a synopsis. She's the first one to request a synopsis! So, here I go revising and polishing my synopsis.
They were right when they say novel synopses are evil little cads to write.
But I shouldn't complain--I'm just so excited with where my querying journey is taking me!!!!! Onward upon my sailing ship built of manuscript pages, sailing through a sea of slush pile query letters!

P.S. I suspect the next few blog posts will recap what I've been up to in the writing world lately.
