Oops, I did it again!

Oh WOW! Even though, I still haven't recieved a response from my first children's book query, and don't expect it for a while, I did it again... Am I getting brave or what?

I have to tell you it wasn't any easier this time, but I submitted another query for a second book, titled, "Jared's Lucky Penny" to a different agent. Let me tell you why I chose this agent.

Last night,I was editing one of my children's books (Jared's Lucky Penny) that I wrote 12 years ago, and I wondered... "are there guidelines for how many words there should be for a children's picture book?"

So, I did a search and came across a website, a blog, of another children's author. I opened it and began reading.

There was an interview with her agent, a children's book agent, and it said, "Find out about her unusual penny collection." WHAAAAT?

Ahhhh... well... I took it as a sign, that this is the agent I need to send this manuscript to. It was perfected... as well as I could perfect it... and finally sent it off just minutes ago... Sigh...

Keep your fingers crossed!
