So today, for my 'work on Earths Project' task, I finished editing and polishing up to chapter five, made sure I was happy with the synopsis, and sent a query to another agent. The agent requires the first 50 pages, synopsis, and query. I like the idea of sending more in the query, even though I was grumpy about it when I first realized it was a requirement for so many agents. The reason I've warmed up to the idea is because if the query itself catches an agent's eye, they can easily read more and decide what they think. And since I've obviously got confidence in my work (or else, why would I be working so hard on its behalf), I feel like my chances can only get better the more they read.
That's all for today...I'll continue with my 1996 journal tomorrow.
Thanks for the tip on editing in Goodreader! I've been looking to go paperless with my own writing process, and I'll give this solution a go.
ReplyDeleteWhich stylus do you prefer? I've just picked up the Bamboo Solo, but haven't really used a stylus with the iPad before.
I'm pretty cheap when it comes to my stylus choices, mainly because I've seen that as long as you go with at least a $15 dollar one, they all work about the same (in my experience). I have a Merkury Innovations stylus right now that works well. I usually have to get one that also has a pen.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the editing in Goodreader! Let me know if you have any problems with it and how it works for you.
Update: I found an app that I somehow love even more than Goodreader for editing. I also love it for EVERYTHING it does..I'll probably dedicate a blog post to it at some point. It's called 'Notability' and can load pdfs just like goodreader, and then you can do essentially the same thing with writing the edits on the screen, then putting them side by side with the manuscript in scrivener.
