Rejections: 3 (One within a couple of hours! I guess if you know what you don't like, why waste time, huh?)
So five still out, but two agents are "no response means no," and we're coming up on the 30-day mark for one of them.
I got a "favorite" or "like" - whichever Twitter term you prefer - on an agency's Twitter pitch session, so I sent my pages off to the amazing agent who favorited/liked my pitch. I almost fell over when I saw it! :)
Another super happy moment: A request for 50 pages yesterday! I recently researched this agent and felt good about her and the items on her wish lists, so I sent my query and heard back from her the next day. Incredibly EXCITING! And nerve-wracking. I sent the pages out this afternoon. I read her Twitter page and blog with much interest but didn't follow her on Twitter for some reason, and now I'm kicking myself because is it weird to follow her now, like I'm only following her because she requested pages? Sigh. And she mentioned in an article that Twitter was her favorite social media. (No, Twitter is not paying me money to mention it a hundred times in my post.) It's that fine line that I'm always tiptoeing around: What is considered a positive move and what is negative?
I did some more research and have two more agents on my "to query" list, but I'm going to wait out the pages that are out and see if I get any feedback first.
Or an offer!! :)
