I am officially halfway through sending out my agent queries. And I continue to feel queasy every time I hit "send."
The problem is that I never seem to be DONE. Every time - every bloody time - I look at a letter, a synopsis, a chapter, you name it, I see a little something to tweak. Change this word. Restructure this paragraph. Move this sentence. Little things, but they do feel like real improvements. It's like decorating a damn cake one sprinkle at a time. But that means I'll NEVER be done! So I have to force myself to just send the freaking thing before I scan it for small improvements for the seventh time. And that means there's a part of my brain that's convinced I've made a mistake. Hence the queasiness.
It doesn't help that I seem to be finding the most time during my coffee breaks. Nothing like nerves + caffeine to make my fingers feel jittery on the keyboard. I can feel the increased likelihood of typos. *shudder* I'm on track to meet my goal, however, so hopefully by next weekend I'll be all done with querying and back to baking, blathering, and writing whatever comes into my head.

It is strange but I hardly ever change things that I write. I might change a word if I realize I have used it twice in the same paragraph. I rewrote my novel after an English Prof read it and critiqued it. I wish I had never changed it now. Best of luck. You are such a good writer.
