And another referral...

I sent my proposal to a good writer friend. He read it through and then suggested I send it off to an agent friend of his.

Nice!

Even if nothing comes of the referral, it is very validating to get that kind of response from another writer.

I still haven't heard from the last agent I queried, so I checked out online info about her. My buddy at AWP had suggested that I shoot her of a quick email to see if she would like to take a look at my proposal. As it turns out, she doesn't accept email queries. That is kind of frustrating, especially as I should have checked more closely before I sent out the email. So I will print the query out (and of course doing a quick revision) and resend it via snail-mail today.

And with any luck I will have the energy to do some creative writing today and avoid grading papers.
