Well, ladies and gentlemen, I contacted my first two potential agents this morning. I'm crossing my fingers, but I'm not holding my breath. It's just the first two, I'm taking a page out of the pessimist's playbook and expecting rejection letters galore, but I'm definitely with the mindset that keeps saying "hey, no biggie, keep going." Plus, I think folding paper cranes out of rejection letters would be sarcastic fun for everyone. XD

The first one just wanted the query letter, whereas the second wanted a full-blown submission of query, synopsis, and the first thirty pages, which thankfully I all had prepared in advance. And yeah, it does feel a lot like job searching. It's definitely WAY more fun to write the actual stories.
