Agent #7 sufficiently intrigued to request hardcopy of first 50 pages (and actually responded Wednesday afternoon, not that I could have gotten anything mailed out before Saturday anyhow). Could it be that the Query Letter finally doesn't suck? Stay tuned...
In other news, the sudden spike in temperatures has me casting about for excuses to not be in my apartment, so I've finally gotten around to looking into the Windy City Knitting Guild, which I have been meaning to do for the last year and a half. Their meetings are, conveniently, the third Tuesday of the month over at Sulzer, so after I'd had a bit of a nap I trundled over to investigate. It seems like a worthwhile organization, so I'll probably join as soon as I can remember what I did with my checkbook... After the meeting I decided that to walk home would count as fulfilling this week's "get some frackin' exercise, Lumpy" goal -- 4.5 miles, as it turns out, so my shins are still a bit displeased with me but they do seem to be getting more used to this new regieme.
