My writing life is in a bit of upheaval right now, because I've got a new job that I'm starting next week. I'll be working from home, so I've been working on getting my home office in order, which means I haven't been writing.
I feel like I've taken a big step back since the writing conference last month. That should have been a big motivator, but instead I feel like I have a lot more work to do before I can send anything to any agents or editors -- even the ones who requested my first three chapters.
I need to work on both books before I send anything out, but I haven't had the time or motivation, even though I'm worried that the agents and editors I met will lose interest if I wait too long to get in touch with them. On the other hand, I don't want to send chapters off to them until the entire book is ready to read.
What if their interest is piqued by the sample chapters and I'm not ready to respond promptly when they ask for more? It's a long shot that they'll be interested, but I want to be ready in case they are.
Maybe when my new job gets sorted out ... yeah, I've used that excuse or something like it before.
