Adventures in Querying Agents

Now, this was not supposed to be my second blog entry; I had something much grander in mind.  However, I just had a traumatic experience that I wanted to share.

I recently discovered this literary agent who seems to be really into epic fantasy - which is really, really rare (more on that in a soon to be published blog entry).  The bio on his agency website reveals a child/teen reading list that was identical to mine.  He even likes to write fantasy himself.  Perfect.  It just so happens that I have a new and improved query letter to submit.

So, I'm putting this e-mail submission together and I'm almost done - but not quite - when I hit "send" by accident...

Whoops.

What to do?  Re-send it?  Send a quick memo letting him know what I did?  Do nothing?  Close my eyes and put my head in the ground?

So I resent it, with a quick blurb about the mistaken previous submission.

And now I feel the need to watch "Swingers..."

"Swingers" Answering Machine Scene


Yeah, I won't hear back from that agent.
