I half-hearted tried and when the computer crashed in the process, I took it as a sign (of my own wussiness). I was so impressed when Rob submitted. Talk about tough love.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043279516460824905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513661676746421266.post-67631827034528713812012-12-22T18:31:50.739-08:002012-12-22T18:31:50.739-08:00Hey there,

Mr. Rhamey provided a valuable service, but I would not put much credence in the Flogometer. Too easy for his readers to vote "no" without ever stating contructive comments.

I really have no business reading this book, as I am far far away from a book contract, but sometimes it's nice to glimpse into the future, and (holding three fingers up) be prepared.<br /><br />By the way, Julie, do you need or would like another test reader? I don't know what 'stage' you're at so I'll leave the offer with you. No worries either way.Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043279516460824905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513661676746421266.post-53325497633223376542012-12-19T14:47:55.247-08:002012-12-19T14:47:55.247-08:00If I bumped into Stephen King on the elevator, I&#...If I bumped into Stephen King on the elevator, I'd be too tongue tied to say my pitch and it wouldn't be a pretty sight. :)Stinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415189347501942340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5513661676746421266.post-16927410003972211572012-12-19T12:43:55.765-08:002012-12-19T12:43:55.765-08:00Let me get this straight.

I learned I could write a query letter, but not a book (at that point, anyway). IT's a lot of work to pedal our written wares! I'll try again when it's time.
